Talk:Siwawa

 * @Valereee Thanks for approving the draft. I am not sure if this counts as evidence of editorial oversight. But I did some research and I found out that the food video short content company is owned by the Yit company or Yitiao TV (also on YouTube and its parent company). Apparently big on WeChat. Started by Xu Husheng who previously was the editor of The Bund magazine. So he has editorial experience for sure. Like most media, his company is for profit and funded by investors to sell stuff and views, but personally I don't really see how anyone would want to lie about food stuff. And when serious investors put in 500 million dollars into this company.  I highly doubt they are amateurs with amateur mistakes.  Like what could motivate them to go all the way to Guizhou, communicate with a top Siwawa restraunt and take such professional videos of cooks frying the ingredients in the kitchen and yet not be able to know or report well on how an extremely simple recipe like Siwawa is made. I cannot comment on their other videos or their past. Their Siwawa video is actually the first time I seen their content and it wasn't made by amateurs. But if you think that  my sources and info here in this reply, aren't enough proof of their editing expertise, then that's fine. I don't want to unilaterally add the source in just because I think its professional. But their "mother company" do frequently feature on Taiwanese version of Yahoo so it seems TW Yahoo trusts their reputation enough to permit them be on its platform.SoyDream888 (talk) 21:19, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

 * @SoyDream888, I think based on that, it's safe to add information from that video. Valereee (talk) 21:37, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh, bummer. Well, I'll update to add. Valereee (talk) 22:19, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

Naming
Actually the name "丝"(SI in Siwawa) refers to the strip shaped ingredients, it have nothing to do with silk... Some local language experts even pointed out that the use of wording "silk/丝绸" is kinda laughable. maybe we should just remove that translation and just keep the redirect??
