I am Somali not Somalian
Hi,

I am faisal and I just wanted to ask you how I could correct the headings for the recipies..I am a british born somali and it only in the last few years that people having been refereing to me and my people as somalian when that is not the case. I am Somali, I speak Somali, and my people are Somali. So in order to help correct people I am asking people to ammend the word Somalian to Somali in their website and literature. A National of Somalia is a Somali as recognised by interantional law. So can you help, I have ammend one page but the headings are not accessible can you provide advice or directioning as to how i can do this. For your reference.Earliest recorded use of the word "Somalian" in English comes from the British linguist David Diringer in 1948. A lot earlier than i thought was the case.

Category Deletion
Hi Game widow (yay, you have talk page). I noticed you've been deleting alot of category pages? The ones like Fish or whatever... Shall I get my bot to help destroy these unneeded category's as well? --Lcawte 11:29, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, there!
Hi, Game Widow!

Thank you for your welcome gesture. You must be a very friendly person. I don't have camera nor a way to put pictures in. Some of the recipes I'll put will be almost colonial... very, very old, from the high mountainous Andean region. English is not my first language... it belonged to my a British ancestor 5 generations ago! So, any correction will be welcome.

Finger Licking Lamb Kleftiko
Hi Game Widow. You edited my post. Why? What happened to my laboriously drawn lid closure system which is essential to the success?

Please advise.

Thanks for quick comeback. There was an illustration. Now missing. Should I just replace it? New to this.

Newbie here.
I'm new in this Wiki, although I am active in Wikipedia. I helped write a fairly long informational article about Nepalese cuisine. I was thinking about bringing that material over, then started wondering if it would be better to link to it to avoid duplication and double work for article maintenance.

I think in general Wikipedia has a big head start with articles on various cuisines (at least on most South Asian cuisines), but it isn't the place for recipes. Would this make sense as a general policy: recipes here, informational articles about cuisines in Wikipedia (with links over here for recipes perhaps)? LADave 08:34, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

Lactose Free Recipes
hello

I note that there is a link to the related wiki Gluten Free Recipes.

This wiki seems to be a category (as it appears under most viewed Categories), so I am guessing that the recipes automatically appear in both wikis - is this correct?

However I note that there does not seem to be a 'Gluten Free Recipe' category in the Recipes Wiki; AND there is no 'Lactose Free Recipe' category either. This two categories would be very useful for those who suffer from these intolerances.

(Is there a place on the Recipes Wiki that shows the list of categories? A link to such a page would be useful. - I note The 'Recipes by Course' - strats to do this - but is not a full listing.

I am lactose intolerent and so would be interested to add lactose free recipes.

Also on seeing the Gluten Free Recipoes wiki, thought to start a Lactose Free Recipes wiki, but it would be great to be able to have recipes to be transfrerred automatically between Recipes wiki and a new Lactose Free Recipes wiki.

Any suggestions, would be welcome.

Thanks

Guy

Question: How does one delete\merge a page
I found two recipes that are mostly identical. I would like to delete one, how do I do that? Thanks

Specifically, The following 2 are very close, the first has more information:

http://recipes.wikia.com/wiki/Saketini

http://recipes.wikia.com/wiki/Saketini_I

Thank for the Thanks
Yes - I see that you are the most active person here by far.

Did you start these wikis?

A bit about me - I was born in South Africa of British parents, I have travelled and worked around the world. I am now living in London.

Lactose-free wiki
Thanks for adding the recipes to the wiki I have tried to create.

I say 'tried', as I cannot figure out how to use it....

I am used to creating web pages and editing html code etc. but I cannot see where one goes here to start. I cannot find the front door. Any help would be appreciated.
 * 1) I want to give the wiki the same look as the other recipe wikis
 * 2) I want to be able to change the menus on the left ( I see you managed to add 'Soy Milk Recipes'
 * 3) I cannot see how I (or anyone else cann add recipes to the wiki.
 * 4) I cannot find any Help pages to give me info

Capitalization?
hello

I note that wikia does not see that for example: Soy Milk = soy milk= Soy milk

Is there a way around this problem?

As I wish to allow a user to search for recipes that use a certain ingredient, from its page in the Glossary,but the capitalization means it must be an exact match

I have figured out I can use for example:

Special:WhatLinksHere/soy_milk

But it is case senstive!

thanks

thoughts on new Wikia
Hi Game widow, I'm a long time Wikipedia editor, and a wikia newbie. I just created a new Wiki here on wikia, at http://ingredients.wikia.com and I was looking for some input from recipe wiki if I'm not working in the same scope. I'm not looking for recipes on the wiki I created, but rather information on general preparation of ingredients. I was looking for some community portal on this wiki, but I couln't find it, so I just grabbed a name from the recent changes list, and that's how I ended up on your talkpage. Would you mind taking a look at the chicken article on my wiki, and see if you think it can/should coexcist with recipes? Would be greatly appreciated.

3 Ingredient Crockpot Pork Roast Fix
Thank you for fixing my 3 Ingredient Crockpot Pork recipe. It was my first submission and I didn't realize I should have put brackets around the ingredients. Still learning the ropes. I love this site and can't believe I haven't discovered it until now. So many recipes and so little time. I'm off to find some fall recipes.
