I'll have a go at this one.

Initial thoughts

Chiswick Chap, sure. Am I right in thinking that the only thing that remains is the coverage of wet markets in Europe? Or am I missing another issue? Urve (talk) 15:46, 1 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
That's all. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:48, 1 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
Please take a look and let me know what you think. The only references I could find relate to two markets, in France and Italy. Urve (talk) 16:18, 1 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
Good work, just what was needed. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:02, 1 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Urve and Chiswick Chap: Sorry for being MIA, and thank you both for finishing this up! — MarkH21talk 19:00, 23 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Europe is very lightly represented, with just one example (Dublin). This certainly does not do justice to Europe's rich array of traditional markets selling fresh fish, meat, dairy, and vegetables on street stalls every week.
    • Not a lot of sources use the exact terms wet market when discussing traditional markets in Europe that would otherwise fit the definition so there is a minor WP:SYNTH concern. Otherwise though, the section could definitely otherwise be expanded under the alternative name of "traditional markets" as listed in the lead. What do you think about this? — MarkH21talk 17:20, 24 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Given that (I assume) we're not going to try to cover every country with a list of 200 or so country-paragraphs, I suggest that each continent's section (e.g. "Africa") should be introduced with a brief paragraph describing the general situation in the continent - many countries rely on farming for much of their income, and wet markets for much of the food in the cities. Then the countries can be introduced as examples, one paragraph each, probably without a separate subsection heading for each country as they're just examples. Alternatively we could split off a list article for all the countries (leaving a "Main" link), if you preferred, and perhaps we'd just discuss the situation briefly for each continent here.
    • Both the introductory paragraph and the split seem reasonable (and yes, I wouldn't try to create 200+ subsections here for all of the countries either). In fact, we could even do both. Will return to this. — MarkH21talk 17:20, 24 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
      • OK. We have some sort of coverage which I think makes "the main points" as required by the GA criteria, and it's suitably cited.
  • The images are basically all appropriate, but I expect (per the above) that the China and Hong Kong images will be reduced in number to match the (probably) reduced text.

Summary

edit

Many thanks, both, for getting this over the line. I'm pleased by the article's progress through the GAN cycle and am satisfied that the article is now focused, properly cited, and suitably informative on the topic. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:05, 1 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
