== Sources for possible intergration ==
==IT'S A FAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!==
This whole entire article (and its "sources") are based on some nostalgic fantasy scenario written in a cookbook from the 70's. Typical Wikipedia quality control!


Hi All,
First off: Maintaining a roiling fire 24/7 in the middle ages would have been prohibitively expensive, negating any alleged "economic advantage".


So I've found some sources that could possibly be starting points for improvements to the article.
Secondly: They would have had to replenish the water constantly. Potable water was a precious commodity in the middle ages.


https://www.lawrentian.com/archives/1020358 - a student magazine calling for a perpetual stew to be established at their university? Not sure if people feel this is worthy of inclusion, but interesting nevertheless.
Thirdly: Doing so would have killed any flavor and/or nutritional content that the stew had making it a chunky(fat) gross flavorless mess.


https://recipes.howstuffworks.com/perpetual-stew.htm - this makes some claims about the practice's history that aren't in the article? I haven't been able to verify, so I'd appreciate the input of others. [[User:Tomorrow and tomorrow|Tomorrow and tomorrow]] ([[User talk:Tomorrow and tomorrow|talk]]) 05:59, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
Fourthly: The temperature would need to be closely monitored to ensure that not even a little part of the "stew" gets colonized by potentially deadly bacteria. Additionally, acid and salt levels would have to be monitored and kept HIGH, in order to prevent heat-resistant bacteria from colonizing the stew. THE TECHNOLOGY TO DO THIS DID NOT EXIST IN THE MIDDLE AGES.
:I wouldn't consider howstuffworks.com a [[WP:RS|reliable source]]. With just a few minutes checkign the site I found this lovely example: ''this comprehensive article will equip you with the knowledge to decipher the messages from the divine realm and harness the power of this auspicious number to manifest abundance, success, and personal growth.''

''Grand dictionnaire de cuisine'' by Alexandre Dumas published 1873<ref>{{cite book |last1=Dumas |first1=Alexandre |title=Grand dictionnaire de cuisine |date=1873 |publisher=Paris : A. Lemerre |url=https://archive.org/details/legranddictionn00dumagoog/page/n5/mode/2up?view=theater}}</ref> is the source cited by the New York Times. It would be great to cite the 1873 book directly. Unfortunately I can't read French. It also appears to be over 1200 pages so I won't even attempt digging into it using an online translator. Hopefully someone who reads French can jump in and find the relevant content in this book.
FINALLY: Any such concoction, even if it wasn't dangerous, would be so completely disgusting that patrons of these hypothetical medieval "Inns" would prefer literally anything else to eat. They wouldn't pay for it. It would smell like corpses and shit. Even the YouTube influencers who tried this admit that, while they didn't die from eating this, that it was ABSOLUTELY VILE. Yet this article acts like EVERYBODY ate this shit!

== Mentioned as being fake on this radio programme ==
In my opinion a few things should be changed here but I may be wrong.


https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001qd8x [[User:Richard W.M. Jones|Richard W.M. Jones]] ([[User talk:Richard W.M. Jones|talk]]) 09:58, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
Firstly, her content isn't only (or even mostly) from Tiktok, as she also posts on Instagram and Twitter (especially on the [https://twitter.com/depthsofwiki Depths of Wikipedia] account, which is what brought my attention to the whole thing to begin with). Maybe a different description should be used instead of "Tiktok creator".


== Update now that [[Annie Rauwerda]] has an article ==
Secondly, while the meetings were held in Bushwick, most (or at least a lot) of the people who joined the meetups weren't necessarily residents living nearby, but people who read about the meetups from the aforementioned social media accounts she has, so that should probably be clarified in the article.


<small>{{re|Chive Cream Cheese|Pacamah|Jpgordon|Bedivere|Horizon206|Tomorrow and tomorrow|Rhododendrites|jpgordon|theleekycauldron|Lukewarmbeer|Cpotisch|voorts}} (apologies if I missed anyone)</small> A lot of the arguments to not include [[Annie Rauwerda]] came to her not having an article of her own. She now has an article. I added her name with a link to the relevant area and added photos of the two stews mentioned (before I even saw there had been prior discussion). I was reverted by Bedivere [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Perpetual_stew&oldid=prev&diff=1187337430 here]. I think given the existence of the article, the only path that follows the emphasis from sources and Wikipedia's standard of what is [[WP:DUE]] and what should be [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking|linked]] is to include her name and the freely available photos. [[User:Cerebral726|Cerebral726]] ([[User talk:Cerebral726|talk]]) 17:48, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
Lastly, since there are so many posts and pictures of these meetups on social media (or at least in comparison to everything else here in the article), perhaps some of them could be used for either citations or as photos for the article itself. I'm a little new to Wikipedia so I'm not sure if the social media posts would count as a reliable source, but I think it should be considered. [[User:Horizon206|Horizon206]] ([[User talk:Horizon206|talk]]) 05:44, 2 July 2023 (UTC)


:I still don't think a 2-month stew is perpetual, so I still don't think the mention should be in the article at all. [[User:Jpgordon|--jpgordon]]<sup><small>[[User talk:Jpgordon|&#x1d122;&#x1d106;&#x1D110;&#x1d107;]]</small></sup> 18:59, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
:Welcome to Wikipedia! I'm pretty new myself by the site's standards, haha! Anyhow, there's already a note about it in the "Examples" section about her, which I think succinctly summarizes the current. Specifically, it discusses the event being publicized on TikTok (rather than listing her as a TikTok creator) as well as being localized in Bushwick. Also, in my opinion "In popular culture" is more of a blip in time sort of ordeal rather than an ongoing event, so I believe again that the written portion in "Examples" is fine for this article.
:Per the question about photos, as far as I can tell they can be used for citations if they present info (like a person's birthday), but cannot be used for photos due to not having permission from the original owner (unless permission is given).

::I don't think she should even have an article, but I will not bother nominating the article for deletion. There sure are some infuriating fanboys. I don't need any more toxicity in my life. [[User:Bedivere|Bedivere]] ([[User talk:Bedivere|talk]]) 19:14, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
::I have removed the Rauwerda mention as it is unquestionably unencyclopaedic and is borderline promotional. [[User:Bedivere|Bedivere]] ([[User talk:Bedivere|talk]]) 05:34, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

:::At this point, I think she's notable enough, but I've cut back on a lot of, as you would describe, fanboying. Details about her show, how the stew started, what ingredients there were, etc, are definitely not worthy of inclusion. [[User:Cpotisch|Cpotisch]] ([[User talk:Cpotisch|talk]]) 02:18, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
:::Hi,
::I mean, it's described as a "perpetual stew" by sources, not unlike the leek-and-rutabaga concotion that's slowly growing... other things in my fridge :) [[user:theleekycauldron|theleekycauldron]] ([[User talk:Theleekycauldron|talk]] • she/her) 19:46, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
:::I'm surprised to see you've reverted my addition to the page on this. Like the users you responded to on July 3rd, I disagree with your choice. I'm also confused as to how you might read my contribution as promotional. It presents factual information about a contemporary practice of maintaining a perpetual stew and its social implications, without advocating or endorsing the event. Additionally, the information about the Perpetual Stew Club was sourced from a respected outlet known for food journalism. There are limited documented instances of contemporary perpetual stews, and Rauwerda's example is a unique and relevant case.
:::Agreed on that point: the lifetime of the perpetual stew is not relevant insofar as reliable sources refer to it as one. Given that it has ended and is thus unlikely to receive more coverage, I think the current weight given to the topic in this article is appropriate. [[User:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[User talk:Vermont|🐿️]]—[[Special:Contributions/Vermont|🏳️‍🌈]]) 20:00, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
:::As far as it being ''"unquestionably unencyclopedic",'' I'd appreciate it if you could further explain what you mean by this. It presents a contemporary example of the perpetual stew tradition being upheld outside commercial establishments. It offers a balanced perspective of this practice in a community setting, thus contributing to the comprehensiveness of the article. The inclusion of diverse examples, historical and modern, commercial and community-driven, ensures the encyclopedic nature and neutrality of the article, in line with Wikipedia's standards.
::::What are your thoughts on [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Perpetual_stew&diff=prev&oldid=1187330311 this edit] I made, which also added a couple of photos of the mentioned perpetual stews and added a wikilink to [[Annie Rauwerda]]? [[User:Cerebral726|Cerebral726]] ([[User talk:Cerebral726|talk]]) 21:19, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
:::I suggest reinstating the section for the reasons above. [[User:Chive Cream Cheese|Chive Cream Cheese]] ([[User talk:Chive Cream Cheese|talk]]) 23:14, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

::::Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate source of information [[WP:RUNOFTHEMILL]] and is not news [[WP:NOTNEWS]].

:I think that Annie Rauwerda's name should be included, as if she is notable enough for her own Wikipedia article, her name is also probably notable enough to be included in a section of this article as well.
:::::Thank you for taking the time to explain and providing the relevant links. I'm having some trouble following your position as the articles you've linked support my position.
:However, this is just my personal opinion, I'm not all that knowledgeable with all the criteria and guidelines of Wikipedia just yet. Furthermore, I wasn't all that involved in the initial discourse to begin with, and I do not intend to join this one any further. [[User:Horizon206|Horizon206]] ([[User talk:Horizon206|talk]]) 04:02, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
:::::'''<u>On [[WP:RUNOFTHEMILL]] status:</u>'''
:I fully agree with adding her given that she has her own article. I don't understand why to not link to her article, given that is essentially an extra step someone would have to go through if they were curious about who made the stew club and was responsible for caring about the soup itself.
:::::This recurrent event's existence is ''not'' a common, everyday, ordinary item. It's certainly true that the Perpetual Stew Club should not be given a page of its own— local clubs supporting a hobby or interest should not be the cause of articles and their existence is generally not notable. But this is not a Wikipedia article on the Perpetual Stew Club; it is an article on perpetual stew. To that end, the existence of this event and specifically the stew at the event is absolutely notable, relevant, and deserving of inclusion on the page alongside the restaurant which sold it for eight months and the restaurant which has sold it for decades. ''(Many restaurants serve broth!)'' It is likely the most relevant item related to the topic of the article in decades. ''Regardless of our personal opinions about it,'' a month-old perpetual stew with community engagement and media attention is an important addition to the article, which is why you've had to fight multiple users on its presence. ''(Also, as you know, this essay is not one of [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies or guidelines]], and it has not been [[Wikipedia:Consensus#Levels of consensus|thoroughly vetted by the community]]. Choosing to enforce this article is definitionally enforcement of a personal opinion on how Wikipedia should be run.)''
:To respond to some comments about whether the stew itself is perpetual, I think it qualifies as it is a stew that has items continuously added in. Even though it was only two months old, I find it distinctive enough from a [[master stock]] as it is not used to flavor other dishes, and the 2-month perpetual stew is a dish in and of itself. I guess it is a bit similar to [[hot pot]] in that it is a communal(-ish) soup/stew with different ingredients thrown in, and the combination of the broth and ingredients being the dish itself and therefore similar to a perpetual stew. However, hot pot isn't often stored to be used again, and as far as I can tell the perpetual stew was not used to cook the ingredients before eating immediately after as you would do in hot pot. I guess it could just be called a regular soup or stew, but I'd argue most people wouldn't think of a soup as a community-created meal.
:::::'''<u>On [[WP:NOTNEWS]] status:</u>'''
:Anyhow, perpetual stew or not, I don't see why not to add a link. It just makes it easier I feel. [[User:Pacamah|Pacamah]] ([[User talk:Pacamah|talk]]) 02:54, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
:::::This event isn't news, nor does inclusion represent the indiscriminate collection of information. It does have weight that should be included [[Wikipedia:DUE|in proportion]] to its importance to the overall topic of perpetual stew.
:I fully support the inclusion as well. Adding the link to Rauwerda's article contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the topic, thereby enhancing the overall value of the article. Linking directly to her page simplifies access to relevant information, which improves the reader experience. This approach aligns closely with Wikipedia's standards for including notable and verifiable content.

:::::While it is true I have attended the event, I am not an event organizer nor currently affiliated with it in any official capacity. I was not asked nor in any way encouraged, directly or indirectly, to promote the event nor edit this page. Per the guidelines, I do not feel it necessary to disclose a conflict of interest, but I'm happy to concede on that front and take on [[Template:Connected contributor|connected contributor]] status if the community at large feels it necessary. Ultimately, I think it's clear I did not edit the article in my own interests, nor in the interests of my external relationships.
:::::I'd also like to add, that like all '''[[:Category:Wikipedia behavioral guidelines|behavioral guidelines]],''' [[Wikipedia:What "Ignore all rules" means#Use common sense|common sense]], and [[Wikipedia:Ignore all rules|occasional exceptions]] apply. It is Wikipedia policy that if a [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|rule]] prevents one from improving or maintaining [[Wikipedia]], it should be disregarded.

::::::::::::I appreciate your concern, but it's crucial to consider the broader implications of the recent "local event". This 2023 occurrence isn't just a blip in time; it's the most significant manifestation of the centuries-old tradition of perpetual stew and serves an important role in understanding the ongoing cultural relevance and interest in this historic practice. Furthermore, may be the only perpetual-stew related '''event''' in ''centuries.''
::::::::::::It would be a major disservice to people who come to this article to exclude the event. Hundreds of people regularly congregated in Brooklyn to communally create and eat from a perpetual stew. Excluding it will leave readers with an incomplete picture of the subject matter.
::::::::::::As for how that inclusion works— whether or not or not we name the specific creators of the club or the age of the stew— I'm very flexible on and was more than happy with the version of this article which made no mention of the creator.

* '''Support''' The "Modern revival" section is basically examples of modern perpetual stews.

:[[User:Voorts|@Voorts]] I do agree with many of the points made here. However, while it has brought a lot of attention towards the topic, it is no longer going to be perpetual. There is a final meeting planned for the stew on August 6th (https://www.perpetualstew.club/home/about). While I'm not sure if it disqualifies it from being in the perpetual stew article (I'm fairly neutral about the whole situation), I think it is something that should be taken into account.

::While ultimately any stew supporting multiple cycles of eating and replenishing while continuously cooking could count, and I'm sure there are arguments that could be made about a stew that served both lunch and dinner while staying on the stove... We're looking at what will be a 58-day period of cooking supporting hundreds of meals for hundreds of people, weeks apart. I don't think it's really very debatable that this ''was'' a perpetual stew, even for those who don't find it to be a notable one.

'''Support:''' Reliable sources seldom write about contemporary examples of perpetual stews. With [https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2023/07/13/perpetual-stew-bushwick-tasting-parties/ as many as two hundred participants] regularly gathering to participate in cooking and eating a perpetual stew which has been cooking for over a month, this appears to be the largest perpetual stew-related event in recorded history. It is certainly relevant to the article topic.

It would be a major disservice to those who come to this article to choose to exclude this event. To do so while while making note of New York City restaurants which have maintained less popular perpetual stews would effectively be paltering, and excluding it would leave readers with an incomplete understanding of the subject matter.

While this club / event may not meet some contributors' ''personal'' definitions of notability, it certainly meets the criteria of [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:GNG&redirect=no WP:GNG], Wikipedia's general notability guideline. In fact, It is so notable it could have its own article. A topic is presumed to be suitable for a '''<u>stand-alone article</u>''' when it has received ''significant coverage'' in ''[[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]]'' that are ''[[Wikipedia:Independent sources|independent]] of the subject''.

Given the club's coverage in many reliable, independent sources— including [https://www.grubstreet.com/2023/07/annie-rauwerda-perpetual-stew-bushwick.html New York Magazine], [https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2023/07/13/perpetual-stew-bushwick-tasting-parties/ The Washington Post], [https://www.insider.com/perpetual-stew-tiktoker-going-viral-medieval-soup-2023-7 Insider], and the [[Vox Media|Vox]]-owned [https://ny.eater.com/2023/6/28/23774535/perpetual-stew-annie-rauwerda Eater] and [https://www.thrillist.com/lifestyle/new-york/stew-party-in-brooklyn Thrillist], it is clear that the criteria for notability is met— arguably for a stand-alone article, and certainly within this article. For reference, many of the other examples are only mentioned in ''one'' reliable source.

Some argue against inclusion on the basis this event is too recent ([https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:RECENT&redirect=no WP:RECENT]), and could lose notability if the perpetual stew were to stop cooking today, or if the near future holds unrelated examples of independently-organized perpetual-stew related events with higher attendance. While it is true that the article may one day need updating in keeping with our changing world, it would be inappropriate to exclude the event based on our personal theories of the future. It doesn't matter that the event may soon end, grow, or change. It already warrants inclusion in the current form.

In short: The club is objectively notable and relevant to the topic. It would be unencyclopedic to exclude it.

There seem to be some systemic bias (not just in this article but throughout the English Wikipedia). I do not agree with including a mention of the event, and if it were to be included, it should not contain the organizer name as it is of even less relevance in the larger context of perpetual stews. And those complaining about the other minor occurrences of notable perpetual stews, I'd suggest them to go search Google Books, there's plenty of material there waiting to be included and that is more noteworthy than this event that may be relevant to those who participated and/or sympathize with Rauwerda and her social media account "Depths of Wikipedia", but don't let your passions or affections drive your positions here. To me it is clear this is not a relevant event. [[User:Bedivere|Bedivere]] ([[User talk:Bedivere|talk]]) 06:10, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
*:At the end of the protection period, please add the other well-sourced perpetual stew examples that you've found. I'm sure they would be a wonderful addition to the article! [[User:Chive Cream Cheese|Chive Cream Cheese]] ([[User talk:Chive Cream Cheese|talk]]) 06:58, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

*:Why is the event being of only "local relevance" important or relevant to its inclusion in the article? This is a fairly esoteric subject, all examples are going to be minor and of only local relevance? There's no stew olympics (stewlympics?) known across the country.
*:So unless you're arguing for the deletion of the page entirely, I don't follow your point. Do you have any evidence of these other stews you claim to have found but seem to be unable to source yourself? Maybe you just have a personal vendetta against Rauwerda as your contribution history seems to show you previously removed her name from the intro of the [[Depths of Wikipedia]] page? Curious...

Salsadancer, who commented below, made their very first edit here, for example. Strange, to say the least. Anyway, I have already said there are many mentions of perpetual stews in XIX century books available freely on Google books. There are also sources at Google Scholar. I suggested contributors to improve the article's content by adding such content instead of a non notable "stew party" [[User:Bedivere|Bedivere]] ([[User talk:Bedivere|talk]]) 19:46, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

'''Support:''' Per my other defenses of the inclusion of the sentence, I don't see why having something that is a current event, and as others have said is probably the most notable perpetual stew in recent history, is something that shouldn't be on here. It is a perpetual stew. The other examples that are on the article could themselves be taken as something that is "advertising," so I don't see why this one is a special example of some other type of advertising. Also, given the flood of new news articles on the topic itself, I don't see how that would negate it from being able to be listed. I think it is okay to maybe have it be disconnected from the Depths of Wikipedia account, and maybe listed as the Perpetual Stew club. There are a number of other articles that have also added new information or events that are continuing, and I don't see why this article should be singled out given that it is a current and relevant example of the contents of the article.

Easy '''support,''' with a mention of Rauwerda. Outlets covering the Bushwick stew now include WaPo, NY Mag, Yahoo, Today, WNYC, NY Post, The Independent, Thrillist, and Eater. It’s not just New York media, and even if it was, that would in no way be disqualifying given the narrow nature of the topic. Personal disclosure: I have attended it, but IMHO the news coverage speaks for itself regardless. [[User:Cpotisch|Cpotisch]] ([[User talk:Cpotisch|talk]]) 07:36, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

:Rauwerda does not even have her own article. Any mention of her would be [[WP:UNDUE]] and I strongly oppose it. [[User:Bedivere|Bedivere]] ([[User talk:Bedivere|talk]]) 16:29, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

'''Proposal:''' In pursuit of [[WP:DISCUSSCONSENSUS]] and given what appears to be overwhelming ''(though not unanimous)'' support for inclusion, here's my proposal for wording. It's quite different from my initial revision, but in the spirit of compromise and consensus, I removed all mention of the initial stew's creator and the initial stew creator's primary work, as well as the specific location.

'''For a current update:'''

''Since June 7, 2023, a Perpetual Stew Club has been holding intermittent events in Bushwick, Brooklyn to continue the stew for which their eponymous name derives. Hundreds of people regularly gather to perpetually replenish the stew, which is {{ayd|2023|6|07}} old as of {{FULLDATE}}.''

'''If the meetings should end (let's assume on August 6th) the article could then be updated to:'''

''Between June and August of 2023, a Perpetual Stew Club formed in Bushwick. Hundreds of participants regularly gathered to continuously replenish the stew. The stew finished cooking on August 6, 2023 at 60 days old.''

Of course, I welcome any and all feedback on how this writing could be improved, or you're welcome to help find consensus by editing it. I hope it is sufficiently non-promotional.

And Bedivere, I've asked this before, but I would still love it if you could directly state or outline what criteria would need to be met for it to fit your 'personal' definition of relevancy or notability?

*<s>'''Comment'''</s> The Brooklyn stew has now been covered in [https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/tiktok-viral-perpetual-stew-soup-b2377440.html ''The Independent''] – although the author is based in New York, this outlet is beyond local media. I also don't see anything inherently wrong with a brief mention of Rauwerda by name as the club's founder (similar attribution is given in many other cases), so long as there is no [[WP:UNDUE]] weight or digression into Depths of Wikipedia. <sup>[[User:ComplexRational|'''<span style="color:#0039a6">Complex</span>''']]</sup>/<sub>[[User talk:ComplexRational|'''<span style="color:#000000">Rational</span>''']]</sub> 00:20, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
*:Moving to '''support''' brief mention, with name. In addition to the numerous sources linked in this discussion, there are plenty of examples of people who are relevant in the context of an idea or event, and who are accordingly named in those articles, but who do not have articles of their own. I don't see how this is any different than, for instance, explicitly attributing a scientific finding to an author who doesn't have their own article, or giving a purportedly non-notable film critic credit for their review.
*:I also agree that the history section ought to be expanded to provide a broader perspective, so as not to place undue emphasis on modern examples.
*:In the interest of transparency, I disclose that I have met Rauwerda on one occasion unrelated to perpetual stew (and have not tasted the stew myself). <sup>[[User:ComplexRational|'''<span style="color:#0039a6">Complex</span>''']]</sup>/<sub>[[User talk:ComplexRational|'''<span style="color:#000000">Rational</span>''']]</sub> 15:14, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
*'''Oppose inclusion''' Let's see, we've got mentions under "modern revival" of an eight months example, a 49 year example, a 78 year example and...a 43 day old example. Not really very perpetual, yet. It's just noise on the internet right now, with some obvious fanboy enthusiasm. [[User:Jpgordon|--jpgordon]]<sup><small>[[User talk:Jpgordon|&#x1d122;&#x1d106;&#x1D110;&#x1d107;]]</small></sup> 20:25, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
*:How long do you keep your stews cooking for, [[User:Jpgordon|jpgordon]]?
*:Respectfully, I'm not sure how you could reasonably classify a stew that has been cooking for well over a month ''"not really very perpetual".'' I would be right with you if this were a three day affair, at which point the stew would technically and unambiguously meet the criteria but not, to me, feel in the spirit of it.
*:More importantly, however... The age of the stew (or even the existence of it!) is not critical to the issue of inclusion within this article. If there were no stew, and this club were merely an association of perpetual stew enthusiasts, who regularly gathered to celebrate the concept, it would be important to mention this hundreds-strong club on the page— just not under the modern revivals section. The organized collective of "fanboy [enthusiasts]" are worthy of recognition on this page because it is sufficiently notable for its "fanboy enthusiasm".
*:If this doesn't fit under the modern revivals section due to being too short a perpetual stew, and I strongly believe it does fit, then it should be given its own section or placed somewhere else on the page due to the other merits. [[User:Chive Cream Cheese|Chive Cream Cheese]] ([[User talk:Chive Cream Cheese|talk]]) 22:56, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
*'''Mild support''' (summoned by bot). This stew seems to have attracted a reasonable level of notoriety, and the mention seems reasonably proportionate and reasonably likely to be of some interest to the reader, as part of a section that is currently just a fairly brief and scattershot list of examples. If more examples emerge, or sources are found that make a more cohesive narrative possible, then at some point some consideration will need to be given to pruning; at that point, this might not make the cut (or perhaps might turn out to fit better in a separate section as suggested above). But for now it seems fine. -- [[User:Visviva|Visviva]] ([[User talk:Visviva|talk]]) 02:59, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
*'''Support'''. This is clearly notable, and has been discussed in numerous [[WP:Reliable Sources]]. Honestly seems very clear to me that it should be included. As for arguments about if it actually constitutes a 'perpetual' stew, that's how sources are describing it so we should follow that. I think this discussion has been dragged out by [[User:Bedivere|Bedivere]]'s objections which by now have been clearly expressed but don't seem to be supported by consensus. My advice for editors who have been heavily involved in this discussion (from all sides) is to maybe take a step back, recognise that you've made your view clear, and see how the consensus falls. Remember we are not here to [[WP:RGW|Right Great Wrongs]] [[User:Tomorrow and tomorrow|Tomorrow and tomorrow]] ([[User talk:Tomorrow and tomorrow|talk]]) 05:09, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
*:More than the apparent notability of this event (which I do not agree with) I am more disturbed by the urge of some users to include Rauwerda's name, even though she has no article of herself and that of [[Depths of Wikipedia]] is about the instagram account, not her. As you have already said, I have expressed my objections more than enough times, and my position right now is to let it be. [[User:Bedivere|Bedivere]] ([[User talk:Bedivere|talk]]) 00:35, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
* '''Weak support''': For the way the article looks right now, including Rauwerda's stew is definitely appropriate.

*I first visited this page a few days ago and found the wording of this RfC really weird. {{tq|without mentioning Annie Rauwerda or Depths of Wikipedia}}. That seemed odd because the only thing I know about the renewed interest in perpetual stew is that it's directly through Annie Rauwerd and Depths of Wikipedia. What sense would it make to go way out of our way to separate them? I figured there must not be all that much sourcing about it and DoW fans must be spamming the page. I didn't look into it much. Today I reopened the page and literally moments later, while I'm looking at the RfC, a story pops up on [[WNYC]]'s ''Morning Edition'' about perpetual stew in Brooklyn, with Annie Rauwerda at the center. I looked for a link to the story, but it doesn't look like it's up yet. I did find another WNYC-related link, though, [https://gothamist.com/arts-entertainment/a-communal-stew-in-bushwicks-been-brewing-for-6-weeks-and-has-gone-viral-so-i-tried-it via Gothamist], which mentions Rauwerda by name ''eleven'' times.

== "Ingredients" Section only has one sentence & Medieval perpetual stew hoax ==

To take everyone's minds off the Bushwick perpetual stew, I noticed that the "Ingredients" Section near the end of the article contains only one sentence. In my opinion, I think it'd be better if we take that sentence and put it in the bottom of the lead.

On top of this, I saw on the talk page some claims that the whole concept of medieval perpetual stews was fabricated in the 70s. Such accusations (even if only accusations) sound like something that should be mentioned in the actual article itself.
I'd like to hear some thoughts on if these things should be implemented. [[User:Horizon206|Horizon206]] ([[User talk:Horizon206|talk]]) 22:31, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Sources for possible intergration

[edit]

Hi All,

So I've found some sources that could possibly be starting points for improvements to the article.

https://www.lawrentian.com/archives/1020358 - a student magazine calling for a perpetual stew to be established at their university? Not sure if people feel this is worthy of inclusion, but interesting nevertheless.

I wouldn't consider howstuffworks.com a reliable source. With just a few minutes checkign the site I found this lovely example: this comprehensive article will equip you with the knowledge to decipher the messages from the divine realm and harness the power of this auspicious number to manifest abundance, success, and personal growth.

Grand dictionnaire de cuisine by Alexandre Dumas published 1873[1] is the source cited by the New York Times. It would be great to cite the 1873 book directly. Unfortunately I can't read French. It also appears to be over 1200 pages so I won't even attempt digging into it using an online translator. Hopefully someone who reads French can jump in and find the relevant content in this book.

Update now that Annie Rauwerda has an article

[edit]

@Chive Cream Cheese, Pacamah, Jpgordon, Bedivere, Horizon206, Tomorrow and tomorrow, Rhododendrites, Jpgordon, Theleekycauldron, Lukewarmbeer, Cpotisch, and Voorts: (apologies if I missed anyone) A lot of the arguments to not include Annie Rauwerda came to her not having an article of her own. She now has an article. I added her name with a link to the relevant area and added photos of the two stews mentioned (before I even saw there had been prior discussion). I was reverted by Bedivere here. I think given the existence of the article, the only path that follows the emphasis from sources and Wikipedia's standard of what is WP:DUE and what should be linked is to include her name and the freely available photos. Cerebral726 (talk) 17:48, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't think a 2-month stew is perpetual, so I still don't think the mention should be in the article at all. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 18:59, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think she should even have an article, but I will not bother nominating the article for deletion. There sure are some infuriating fanboys. I don't need any more toxicity in my life. Bedivere (talk) 19:14, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wanting to follow sources and include free-to-use photos is not a sign of being a fanboy. I'd prefer you would WP:ASSUMEGOODFAITH. Cerebral726 (talk) 19:26, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
At this point, I think she's notable enough, but I've cut back on a lot of, as you would describe, fanboying. Details about her show, how the stew started, what ingredients there were, etc, are definitely not worthy of inclusion. Cpotisch (talk) 02:18, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I mean, it's described as a "perpetual stew" by sources, not unlike the leek-and-rutabaga concotion that's slowly growing... other things in my fridge :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 19:46, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed on that point: the lifetime of the perpetual stew is not relevant insofar as reliable sources refer to it as one. Given that it has ended and is thus unlikely to receive more coverage, I think the current weight given to the topic in this article is appropriate.

What are your thoughts on this edit I made, which also added a couple of photos of the mentioned perpetual stews and added a wikilink to Annie Rauwerda? Cerebral726 (talk) 21:19, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think that's fine, especially considering the second photo is of two of the mentioned perpetual stews. Vermont (🐿️🏳️‍🌈) 23:31, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with your edit, and I support re-adding it to the article. Chive Cream Cheese (talk) 04:20, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think that Annie Rauwerda's name should be included, as if she is notable enough for her own Wikipedia article, her name is also probably notable enough to be included in a section of this article as well.
However, this is just my personal opinion, I'm not all that knowledgeable with all the criteria and guidelines of Wikipedia just yet. Furthermore, I wasn't all that involved in the initial discourse to begin with, and I do not intend to join this one any further. Horizon206 (talk) 04:02, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I fully agree with adding her given that she has her own article. I don't understand why to not link to her article, given that is essentially an extra step someone would have to go through if they were curious about who made the stew club and was responsible for caring about the soup itself.
To respond to some comments about whether the stew itself is perpetual, I think it qualifies as it is a stew that has items continuously added in. Even though it was only two months old, I find it distinctive enough from a master stock as it is not used to flavor other dishes, and the 2-month perpetual stew is a dish in and of itself. I guess it is a bit similar to hot pot in that it is a communal(-ish) soup/stew with different ingredients thrown in, and the combination of the broth and ingredients being the dish itself and therefore similar to a perpetual stew. However, hot pot isn't often stored to be used again, and as far as I can tell the perpetual stew was not used to cook the ingredients before eating immediately after as you would do in hot pot. I guess it could just be called a regular soup or stew, but I'd argue most people wouldn't think of a soup as a community-created meal.
Anyhow, perpetual stew or not, I don't see why not to add a link. It just makes it easier I feel. Pacamah (talk) 02:54, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I fully support the inclusion as well. Adding the link to Rauwerda's article contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the topic, thereby enhancing the overall value of the article. Linking directly to her page simplifies access to relevant information, which improves the reader experience. This approach aligns closely with Wikipedia's standards for including notable and verifiable content. Chive Cream Cheese (talk) 04:19, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mathematical Model

[edit]

Is there a source of this mathematical model section? Because as best I can tell, it's not correct.

After the first day, the amount of stew added to the pot should be times the original amount, which means all but the highest-order terms in the sum should have a multiplier, to give a sum formula of , which has a closed form that reduces to the ordinary geometric formula .

This can be seen in another way, by treating the stuff with age as the subset of the stuff of age that was already there. The contribution of stuff with age contributes 1 more per part to the average than the stuff of age , so the average age is where the term represents the stuff with age at least . 81.105.145.216 (talk) 19:20, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure the author of the math section was well intentioned, however another editor has removeddiff that section. I concur with that removal.
The content was unsourced and original research. It was also written in advanced mathematical jargon incomprehensible and useless for the expected audience of this article. For those reasons, I didn't bother trying to check whether the math was correct.
In short, Wikipedia articles are supposed to be an accurate summary of what reliable sources write about a subject. I expect cookbooks and newspaper articles and books on the subject of Perpetual Stew typically consist of approximately 0% mathematics notation rigorously computing the limit of infinite summations. Therefore an "accurate summary" of those sources should consist of approximately 0% rigorous math notation and computation. Grin. Alsee (talk) 04:15, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
