Re: Burrito
Please use Talk:Burrito to make a case for your unique POV. I will assume that you were logged out as an IP when you performed the previous reverts, but keep in mind that edit warring from an IP and a registered account is sanctionable if it is not an accident. As for your strange contention that this is "not an article about Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cuisine", it is entirely appropriate to talk about the antecedents of the food, and that is exactly what the source says. I'm curious why you would think otherwise. In any case, edit warring is not going to solve the problem. You will need to explain your case on the talk page and convince others that you are right. The fact of the matter is, this is discussed by multiple sources and is not controversial in the slightest. Viriditas (talk) 08:32, 21 May 2013 (UTC)


 * The article is about the burrito.


 * How can you say that early Aztec foods are related to the burrito when the very same article states the origin of the burrito is unknown? There is a contradiction right there.


 * The information you insist to include in the burrito history section is simply superfluous. It degrades the quality of the article and makes it the history section a joke.  (And by the way, I did log into my account when I made the initial change and it showed up with my name [Peter-T] so I don't know why it ended up just listing my IP address.)


 * Also, you are really starting to act like the owner of the burrito article. You don't own the article and you ought to step back and let other people clean up the article to make it a stronger and better written article. Peter-T (talk) 10:07, 21 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Peter, you were asked to take this to the article talk page not my user page. I did not say that early Aztec foods are related to the burrito, the sources say it, and they say it in spades.  You've completely misunderstood the statement that says "the precise origin of the modern burrito is not known", as that particular statement is not referring to Aztec antecedents but to the eventual emergence of the variety we know today, the modern burrito, and the prose (and sources) make that very clear.  In other words, it is not exactly known how the modern burrito was popularized, but there are many theories.  Note, this statement has nothing to do with its antecedents in Mesoamerican cuisine, which are known. Peter, please look at the sources you are actually commenting on here, because it is very obvious that you haven't.  Again, the place to discuss this is at Talk:Burrito, not in the edit summary of your reverts nor on my user talk page.  There is nothing "superfluous" nor "degrading" about this information in any way.  It is documented in multiple sources and very common in the literature about burritos.  How can you say you want to make the article stronger and "better" when you are removing solid material found in solid sources written by solid experts in their field?  And, how can you continue to comment on this subject when you haven't read the material?  You've got quite the nerve to accuse me of ownership when you are blanking sourced content for no known reason other than your say-so. You'll excuse me if I don't take your word for it and depend solely on the expert sources in use. Of course, if you want to change my mind or the opinions of others, then you need to use the talk page and make your case, just like everybody else.  To be perfectly honest, I find your argument bizarre. We have three paragraphs in the chocolate article about the influence of Mesoamerican cuisine, and we have an entire article devoted to Aztec cuisine.  This is not even up for debate.  You're wrong.
