December 2007 Wikiproject Food and Drink Newsletter

The WikiProject Food and Drink Newsletter Volume I, no. 7 - December 2007
Project News There are currently 3,998 articles attributed to the project, an increase of 429 from last month. There are currently 1,790 stubs attributed to the project, it would be great to see a large dent taken out of this pile. Help us out here if you can. Fourteen articles are at FA level and sixteen are GA level articles, with no change to articles at FA status and a decrease of one at GA status again, the GA seem to keep diminishing, we need to keep the work up here on getting articles up to GA and FA levels. The project would also like to continue an article improvement drive attempt. Anyone willing to help out with bringing the Restaurant article up to GA status would be a wonderful help. The article is in need of a lot of work and the help of multiple people in the project would be great. The Food Portal has been updated for the month of December. There is a lot of work for this Wikiproject. Go to WikiProject Food and drink/Tasks to find out how to help. Please continue to help with the Destubbification Drive.
