Lead[edit]

Could we expand the lead?

Done.

Please do not keep citations here. Put the facts in the main text as well and shift the citations there.

Done.

Just curious, do we really need to link "cook", "wafer cone" and "ice cream"?

Since it's the first mention of ice cream in cones, I think so; unlinked cook.

I think French should be linked

Done.

Context[edit]

Is link needed for "aristocrat"?

Maybe, but perhaps it's "common" enough.

and for the Prince and Princess of Wales Links?

Done.

Approach[edit]

Apart from the preface and Francatelli's advice...layout of the kitchen. Source? Or our "cite-the-book-directly" principle?

Done.

Link for ice cream?

As above.

Contents[edit]

Our "cite-the-book-directly" principle? I guess the same needs to be added at least in the last line of "Bills of fare"?

Done.

Illustration[edit]

Should this be "Illustrations"?

OK, it's the same.

All the other engravings are of completed dishes,...illustrations are not identified. Source?

Added.

There is a full-page frontispiece of the author I don't see why we need to link the author here again

Unlinked.

Bills of fare[edit]

The exceptional royal dinner of 30 June 18411 had sixteen entrées Wow, how does the earth look then? ;)

Fixed.

For the numbers used, I think you can use digits for all those above 10.

Done, I think.

Contemporary[edit]

every one of his fifty-six dishes Digits please

Done.

are not sweet nor hot "Neither" sweet nor hot?

Done.

George H. Ellwanger wrote in 1902 in his Pleasures of the Table --> In 1902, George H. Ellwanger wrote in his Pleasures of the Table

Fixed.

Gastronomy could be linked

Done.

Can we add the years for the books in this section and the next?

The editions are listed in the Publication section; reviewers are almost always commenting on the most recent edition, so I doubt there's anything to be gained here.

No URL or anything for ref. 3?

Wikilinked.

Alright. @Chiswick Chap: You have been very quick and efficient. The article looks better now. All my issues have been addressed. I would be glad to promote this. Cheers! Sainsf <^>_{Talk all words} 10:34, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
