WGBH open vault content

[edit]

WGBH open vault content is open to be linked to and is not region blocked like some other archives (I'll check on this in detail, but I've checked with folks at the vault - they say it's not region blocked). There may be more of the half-hour videos of JC in action, but I've just added one "French Chef; Lasagne a la Francaise" (1970), but please choose from the others if you like them better "French Chef; Bouillabaisse A La Marseillaise" (1970) or French Chef; Asparagus From Tip to Butt (1966) Theoretically, I can put in all three in just a bit more space, but I wouldn't want overkill here.

Discussion: "Good article nomination"

[edit]

Greetings, The article is in my watchlist for quite a while. From the improvements I see, is this article ready for GA Nomination? Let's discuss. Regards, JoeHebda • (talk) 07:31, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The lead is insufficient, and there are numerous citations needed throughout; paragraph-sized chunks of unsourced text in several areas. That stuff would get hacked up at GAN, especially if you get a stickler reviewer. INeverCry (talk) 22:12, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I may throw together a navbox for her works too. INeverCry (talk) 22:15, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Allegations of alcoholism

[edit]

I have heard that she was a heavy drinker and on her food shows she seemed to often slur her speech. Is this information noble? Midgetlavalamp (talk) 19:04, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 13:53, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not a chef

[edit]

Julia Child was never a chef, that is, someone who runs a restaurant kitchen. I have corrected the lead, and removed the appropriate categories. I have left in the TV chef categories, because "TV chef" is a widely used misnomer for people who aren't chefs, but who teach cooking on TV. --Macrakis (talk) 19:59, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

She was as much of a chef as anyone who ever lived. She earned tons of money by teaching people how to cook. That makes her a professional cook. Which is a "chef" by any reasonable definition. 73.6.96.168 (talk) 21:38, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Though some chefs teach cooking and write books, not everyone who teaches cooking is a chef. A chef is someone who runs a commercial kitchen -- a restaurant or a catering operation. Fannie Farmer was not a chef. Mme. Saint-Ange (pseud. for Marie Ébrard) was not a chef. --Macrakis (talk) 22:19, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Those might be your personal feelings, but according to the current definition (even the one in Wikipedia!), a chef is any cook, though usually a professional cook. Training and commercial kitchen optional. There are no requirements. Anyone can call themself a chef. It's not protected, it's not a degree, it's not well-defined.--77.181.158.146 (talk) 18:18, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good Morning America

[edit]

I haven't seen a single mention in this article about her role on GMA. One would think that would be worthy of mention, especially since she was the first "chef" to be featured on GMA. ABC seems to be very proud to have her in their canon. At least a line or perferably a paragraph about her years at GMA would be in order. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.228.146.101 (talk) 13:57, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reference in a novel

[edit]

Craig Silvey's fictional novel Honeybee includes a good amount of references to Julia Child. Should this be referenced somewhere in this article? 14.201.163.187 (talk) 12:03, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
