Talk:Clam chowder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

{{Unreferenced} Thyme imparts a distinctive taste that sets Manhattan clam chowder apart.

what is with the reference to legal seafoods?

- Well aparantly their Clam chowder is famous. "The chain boasts that its clam chowder has been served at every U.S. presidential inauguration since 1981."

[edit] Oh no you didn't.

When a suspicious statement in an article is tagged with {{Fact}}, I fail to understand how anyone can be so hopelessly unintelligent as to think it's in any way, shape, or form okay to remove it if you're not actually including a citation. If you're so sure that in some long ago age clam chowder was clear and restaurant patrons added cream themselves, find a respectable source that agrees with you. When you inevitably can't do that, because this idea is straight up nonsense, you need to let the citation tag stay or admit defeat and delete the garbage you dropped upon this innocent article.

[edit] ATTENTION bibliomaniac.

You blame me, in private, for "cluttering up" this article. Someone else has cluttered it up this with their unsourced statements; by comparison, my citation tags are harmonious works of art, adorning this text like morning dew drops upon a flower, a coy smile upon a fair young maiden. I'm calling out this editor on their malicious vandalism, and their multiple unsourced statement deserve multiple demands for truth. Next time, take your balls out of your purse and challenge me in public on the discussion page, where all the world can see the frail, brittle foundation upon which your self-righteousness is standing.

Umm...harmonious works of art? Morning dew drops upon a flower? A coy smile upon a fair young maiden? Malicious vandalism? If you insist that the article is so broken beyond repair, why couldn't you help fix it? I told you that a "Needs referencing" template would suffice on your talk page, rather than adding a citation needed at the end of every statement (which indeed clutters up the article). Take this up to WP:ANI, but don't expect to see many people in your favor. bibliomaniac15 20:05, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction

The article states "Restaurants typically serve New England or Manhattan chowder, but not both." Later in the same paragraph, it states, "Many restaurants in northern Rhode Island sell both red and white chowders..." Anyone else find this contradictory? Tan | 39 23:29, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
