Talk:List of edible insects by country

Referencing, redlinks

This is a very poorly cited article, with just one reference at the top of a long list which contains many redlinks (i.e. list items about which Wikipedia provides no information). In general there should be no redlinked items in any Wikipedia list, and any editor is free to delete any such item at any time.

The one reference is 4 long documents, each a sizeable PDF file. Which part and which page is each insect, if indeed they are present there at all? Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:55, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

• • Original PDF - 1 file only (not 4 documents) - is given in the new reference. http://www.fao.org/docrep/012/i1380e/i1380e00.pdf
  • Inline citations now given.
  • Article is not really an orphan. Entomophagy links to this page.

As for red links, this is because there are over a million insect species, and not all species have a Wikipedia page. Red links are going to be inevitable given the number of insect species without their own Wikipedia articles yet. It's better to just do de-linking (removing square brackets) instead of all of it. — Stevey7788 (talk) 11:26, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

Pandanus conoideus?

I don't know why Pandanus conoideus is listed in the Papua province section, since it's not a plant. I'm removing it. If anyone knows what insect this is supposed to refer to (maybe a pest of Pandanus?), please list its proper name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlakeALee (talk • contribs) 03:37, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

Vespa under edible insects

I found vespa (as in the Italian motorcycle) as a link under insects eaten in Laos on this page. I will attempt to fix this but I thought it would be good to leave a note. Alexander Fransson (talk) 10:35, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
