Hey! Thanks for Apples. Foodie already has an Apple article, so I'm thinking of merging content from Apples into Apple. I would put up a merge template, but the site doesn't have one yet. I need to work on making one. Templates don't work the same way on Foodie as they work on wikiHow, so it may take me a little while...

Also thanks for writing the avocado article.

Granny Smith Picture
You could do either. The picture could be used to show an example of a type of green apple or what the granny smith apple looks like. I'll leave the choice to you :).

Btw, I've been planning to add some encyclopedia articles on heirloom varieties of apples like the Newtown Pippin and Cox's Orange Pippin. I'll probably start working on that tonight.

Granny Smith Apple
Ok, I understand now. Maybe it should go to Granny Smith (Apple). I'm just thinking about the future, when two types of food may have the same variety name. Might be good to start planning for that now, rather than later.

Btw, I plan on using the same merge tag from Wikipedia, as soon as I know where to put it. The naming conventions here are a bit different from those on wikiHow. Elocina 02:30, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Merge Tag
I made a simple one-sentence merge tag, but I don't think it looks right. You can see an example of it here. WDYT? Elocina 02:46, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Great ideas...
in terms of the color and the centering. How, then, do I implement that?

I just don't want to do a lot of text at this point, since Foodie doesn't really have a merge policy, so like you said taking something from wH or 'pedia wouldn't make sense in the context of Foodie. Elocina 02:59, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Great!
I'll experiment with a bit later. Thanks so much! Elocina 04:04, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

re:merge template
I'll contact someone to see what I can do. Also, I want to create a stub template for articles like Pio Quinto.
