It has been a while since this article was reviewed, so I took a look and noticed lots of uncited statements, including entire paragraphs (espcially in the "dietary" section). Should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 03:23, 27 December 2025 (UTC) Reply

Uncited statements, including entire paragraphs (especially in the "North American" subsection of the "Dietary" section). Z1720 (talk) 03:24, 18 January 2026 (UTC) Reply
- The North American section is in fact fully-cited, but someone had split it into tiny paragraphs without repeating the citations. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:02, 19 January 2026 (UTC) Reply
- @Chiswick Chap: I have added citation needed tags to the article to highlight other places that need them. Z1720 (talk) 22:15, 19 January 2026 (UTC) Reply

- @Z1720 Editors @Smokefoot, @Reconrabbit and I have worked over the article since your post. All of the citation-needed tags you added are fixed along with other improvements. Johnjbarton (talk) 03:35, 23 January 2026 (UTC) Reply
- @Johnjbarton: I have added some additional citation needed templates. The "Supplementation" section needs to be formatted more effectively, with paragraphs being merged together. Z1720 (talk) 03:45, 23 January 2026 (UTC) Reply
- @Z1720 Yes, supplementation was mess. Please review my changes. Johnjbarton (talk) 18:29, 23 January 2026 (UTC) Reply

- Keep, I think? While not perfect, it seems like everything is cited. Unless someone states that there is a major aspect missing, I think this can keep its status. Z1720 (talk) 21:28, 16 February 2026 (UTC) Reply
