About About the Beverages Taskforce

[edit]

History

[edit]

Over the course of time, various Wikipedians established multiple WikiProjects and taskforces to cover the various fields of beverages here on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, the interest in these individual Projects has waxed and waned since their inception, and as a result these individual projects have been merged into the Beverages Task Force to better organize information in articles related to beverages. This page and its sub-pages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. This project is dedicated to creating, improving, and maintaining articles related to beverages around the world, their history, and their cultural impact.

If you would like to help, please inquire on the discussion page, see the Task list below or just start editing articles and link them to the project using the {{WikiProject Food and drink|drink=yes}} banner.

Scope

[edit]

This taskforce aims to provide a centralized location for the discussion of standards for work on beverage articles in Wikipedia. This should be categorized there but are not yet.

Major classes

[edit]

Soft drinks

[edit]

Soft drinks is the largest class of beverages today, encompassing sodas, juices, sports & energy drinks, and Non-alcoholic mixed drinks.

Mixed drinks

[edit]

One of the major areas of focus in the task force is the listing and categorization of notable alcoholic and non-alcoholic mixed drinks (most notably "cocktails") and related drinkware). It is neither an attempt to create a bar manual (Wikibooks already has a nice bartending manual under development) nor a list of every known mixed drink on the planet. Instead, it is an attempt to create a useful, in-depth topical reference on currently and historically popular mixed drinks.

Coffee and tea

[edit]

Coffee and tea are not just simple hot beverages, they are the basis for multiple aspects of global culture. Through the ancient tea cultures of Asia, to the Turkish coffee bars with their roots going back to the Ottoman Empire and continuing through to the modern western coffeehouse chains, these two drinks have greatly shaped our common history and continue affect the everyday lives of almost every person on the planet.

Community forums

[edit]

In 2008, a community forum was established to help manage common goals of the associated Food and Drink WikiProjects. The inactive discussion is located here.

Goal specific forums
  • Guidelines forum - This forum has been set up for the various Food and Drink projects to develop a set of Manual of Style guidelines for use in articles under the auspices of all the related Food and Drink WikiProjects and task forces. This would be similar to the MoS guidelines for biographies or legal articles.
  • Restaurant notability guidelines discussion - This guideline is intended to extend WP:CORP, in no way to replace its purpose, in regard to restaurants. It is also not intended to replace, supplant, or otherwise alter the standard notability requirements.


Article information

[edit]

We shall try to follow the Manual of Style for all of our articles. We shall initially be addressing those articles contained in the Category:beverages

Templates

Navbox templates

Please list any articles or categories listed for merger by fellow contributors.

Projects

[edit]

Some Project Participants may enjoy working on special projects. One such special project is taking good-quality photographs (original works that are freely licensed) of the various drinks listed. Another special project is temporarily adopting one stub and becoming a super sleuth, tracking down as much information as possible about a drink, writing a good article, and documenting all sources used within the article. See Special Projects below for more information.

Cleanup

[edit]

Please visit the Cleanup Project page for all the details and information on what you can do to help.

The primary project of the Beverages Task Force is a Wikipedia-wide search, identification, categorization, cleanup, merge, and purge of all drink-related articles (excluding articles under the purview of the Beer, Wine, and Spirits WikiProject). It is a very big job, but it would be so much easier for everyone if you could help a little.

Ongoing projects

[edit]
  • Cross-referencing cocktails, beer cocktails, and wine cocktails by liquor used as well as alphabetical by drink.
Alphabetical lists are better handled by creating a category and tagging all related articles with the category tag. Manual lists have to be constantly maintained or the list becomes quickly outdated. Categories are self-generating. I see the same is already being done with some of the liquors. --Willscrlt 04:05, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rather than adding every beverage known to man, work on expanding the number of quality articles available from the various lists including list of cocktails and merge very tiny stubs (essentially recipe-only entries) back into the master lists.
  • Creating a useful list of reference guides.

New Articles

[edit]

Below is a list of new articles created by Beverages Taskforce members, please take a look and give feedback. Article notices will be kept for one month. Please feel free to list your new beverages-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please).
