Overall: I noticed a bunch of minor style errors. E.g. in the "Lyon" section there is a blank paragraph, and a missing space at the crime went unsolved.[13]After World War II. epicgenius (talk) 17:57, 14 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
Epicgenius, thanks, fixed that missing space, but for the life of me I haven't been able to figure out what's going on with the missing paragraph. If I take the space out, it jams the para into the one above. What am I doing wrong? --valereee (talk) 18:04, 14 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
valereee, there's an extra space in The original restaurant was in 2001 still being operated by her granddaughter.[1] <paragraph break> Mère Bourgeois, born Marie Humbert in 1870.... Not sure if this is intentional though. epicgenius (talk) 18:07, 14 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
valereee, that is fine and that would actually make the hook more accurate. It's minor enough an edit that it won't need a re-review, but this correction is approved anyway. epicgenius (talk) 00:49, 15 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hey, Rfl0216, I don't usually object to assessments, but I think this subject is easily as important as, say, Paul Bocuse, who is rated as high importance in Food/Foodservice. I know it doesn't make sense that no one created this article before now if it's that important (well, I can think of one reason), but I think it's terrifically important to French cuisine. I know assessments don't really matter, and I'm willing to let it go for most of my creations, but this one I'm uncomfortable calling low-importance across the board. I think it's high importance for food and quite probably for France. --valereee (talk) 16:20, 15 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
