Comments

There seems to be some repetition going on in the "French Cuisine" section. Take for instance:

• "Potage Crécy is named after Crécy-en-Ponthieu, a French commune in Northern France that has been purported to have carrots with the best flavor within France." Wouldn't it flow better to say "Potage Crécy is named after Crécy-en-Ponthieu, a commune in Northern France that has been purported to produce carrots with the best flavor within the country" instead?
• "In French cuisine, Crécy soup is typically prepared with rice, and may be served with a side dish of rice." Again, maybe to say "In French cuisine, Crécy soup is typically prepared with rice, which may also be served as a side dish"? Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed!

Hi Wilhelmina Will – I have updated the In French cuisine section to reflect the wording you have proposed above, which is more specific and less wordy. Thanks for the suggestions. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 21:10, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, I forgot. Yes, that's much better now. Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 03:11, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

With apologies for the delay, I believe the article now checks out as a qualified GA. Congratulations! Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 03:15, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
