can we improve Wikipedia on food?

[lamington]

Hi everyone. While doing some random surfing of Wikipedia, it struck me how patchy the content is in the area of food and dining. For Australia (where I am), numerous prominent chefs, personalities, foods and more are missing, but the problem is much broader than that. Some countries are very strongly represented, some very poorly despite large populations or informed dining cultures.

Interestingly, I blogged about this a few days ago and the response has been almost dead silence... so I thought it better to bring the issue to the most informed venue on the internet. Whether we like Wikipedia or not, many eGulleteers have the knowledge to make it a better, more accurate source of info for everyone. Or, as I put it elsewhere:

Think of it as a service to journalism… cos we know that with so few writers and editors left at various major papers, the quality of plagiarisable sources has to be at its best.
