Talk:Tartine

Long lines
An anonymous editor wishes to add to the article the fact that Tartine is known for having long lines. I don't disagree in principle (though I have some quibbles with the wording) but I feel that if it is added it should be supported by reliable sources that attest to the significance of the long lines for the subject, and I also feel that the two sources in question are not reliable. These sources are: Additional opinions are welcome, as always. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:39, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Serrell Allison "Review of Tartine Bakery". "Long lines" is one of nine bullet points, listed among multiple other pros, cons, and description elements. I'm not convinced that about.com is a reliable source (see Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 16, Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 22, and Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 27), and I also think that taking this one element out of context gives it undue weight.
 * TripAdvisor Picture "Tartine Bakery: Images from TripAdvisor". A user comment on a photo uploading site states "Lines are long..." Clearly not a reliable source.


 * Being the anonymous editor, I can see what David Eppstien is hinting at. I am proposing to add a photograph. Perhaps we can add a field for food places that is known as "Average Wait Time", as I believe this is an important indicator.  The users/editors are free to edit or append to this field, and the indicator computes an average perhaps.  Or even a color bar that will indicate the range of wait times.
 * It isn't easy to gather a more serious article other than something to the like of about.com for a bakery review. I believe it is a reasonable citation for what it's worth.  Please consider re-wording than reverting!
 * Just as a side note, in the above review by Serrell Allison, Long Lines is one of the 2 bullets in the Cons section. —2013-12-27T11:00:32‎ 173.13.150.22
