Pasta fredda[edit]

I'm told that people sometimes confuse "Pasta Fredda" with "Pasta Alfredo". Perhaps there ought to be a redirect? (Also, the "Pasta Fredda" article could use some work.) -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 15:03, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cl3phact0: thank you for bringing this page to my attention; yes, this article needs many improvements. With all due respect to Americans, Canadians, etc., it's very difficult to confuse these two foods; they're completely different. JacktheBrown (talk) 19:21, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Spoken when with certain accents "al fredda" and "Alfredo" actually sound similar enough to cause confusion. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 20:04, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cl3phact0: but it's "pasta fredda", not "pasta al fredda" or "pasta al freddo". JacktheBrown (talk) 20:16, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have never heard any such confusion. Cullen328 (talk) 20:26, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cullen328: in fact... I've never read of anyone on the Internet who confused these two food names. JacktheBrown (talk) 20:39, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To someone who doesn't speak Italian, they sound quite similar. Easy mistake to make. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 14:44, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you![edit]

Thank you for your kind engagement with my student who is working to improve Linguine! Kaylea Champion (talk) 17:31, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Khascall: you're welcome. If your student will see my corrections to their edits, I hope they don't become sad or demotivated; they did a good job and it's a pleasure for me to see the pages regarding Italian cuisine being expanded. JacktheBrown (talk) 18:23, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Language templates[edit]

I've seen that you have been deleting language templates from some pages, and I wonder if you are aware of their purpose for words and expressions not in English. Please read Template:Lang#Rationale, which might change your opinion about those templates. Best regards, Jotamar (talk) 16:47, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jotamar: could you give me an example of a mistake I made? JacktheBrown (talk) 21:19, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't say anything about mistakes, I'm just saying that language templates have a rationale behind them, and that deleting them should also have some sort of reason. For example in your edition of 20:02, 11 April 2024 in Embutido. --Jotamar (talk) 21:33, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
