Vegetarianism in Canada

This section needs work. It contains some all caps text and seems to go on some tangential rant. "Draft-dodgers" "Learning through osmosis." I don't know enough about the topic or wikipedia to fix this, but I wanted to alert people that this is not right. --WTesZ0 10:55 Monday, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Footnotes?

This page has a couple footnotes, but they don't seem to actually go anywhere. How to fix this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.231.59.254 (talk • contribs) 06:23, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Trivia and misleading quotes

@पदाति It doesn't change the fact that this is WP:TRIVIA. Due to the large population size a lot of Trivia can be generated. What is the relevance of adding it there, other than to mislead the viewer from the fact that the vegetarians are a puny minority in India. The quote is historically inaccurate and misleading. Desist from edit warring. Discuss on the talk page. Venkat TL (talk) 09:39, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

I don't know what a "vegeratian" is, but if it makes up 20-39% of the country, then I don't know if it can be called "puny". That's more than the percentage of Muslims in the country, even by the lowest estimate. You haven't mentioned why you think the sourced figure is "historically inaccurate and misleading" - you need to do that if you want to remove it. This isn't trivia, as it's not part of a list of miscellaneous information. It helps the reader understand how many vegetarians are in India compared to the rest of the world. -- पदाति (talk) 10:35, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

Please see WP:CHALLENGE Please explain why you think this content is deserved in the article. Aquatic Ambiance has removed your edit calling it promotional and it is indeed undue in my opinion. If you want to help the reader with figure give the figure of India first. Not random WP:TRIVIA. --Venkat TL (talk) 04:03, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

The statement was already sourced, before you deleted it, so I don't know why you even brought up WP:CHALLENGE. The content is useful because it gives a picture of how prominent vegetarians are in India relative to other countries. It isn't promotional, it's factual (and it could only be considered "promotional" if you considered vegetarianism to be positive, so I doubt that you and Aquatic Ambiance are actually in agreement here). The exact numbers are already there, both in the list and later in the India section. I would recommend that you actually read WP:TRIVIA before insisting that it applies here. पदाति (talk) 04:38, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

The vegetarians are not even prominent in India, leave the rest of the world. That is why I called this Trivia misleading. Please do not paint false misleading picture of facts. Read WP:TE. Both me and Aquatic Ambiance are in agreement that this content is not deserved into the article. Venkat TL (talk) 05:08, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

That statement is obviously relative, it doesn't say anything about the absolute numbers in India. I don't see how you could consider it misleading. It doesn't say "There are more vegetarians than non-vegetarians in India", it is a statement relative to the rest of the world. It doesn't say anything about the absolute prominence of vegetarians in India. The statement is relative, and the various estimates for the absolute percentage are easily available in many places. पदाति (talk) 05:22, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Stop promoting vegetarians of India. Wikipedia is WP:NOTPROMO Venkat TL (talk) 06:18, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

I have already explained that it is a factual statement, not "promotion", and given my justifications. You seem to be refusing to respond to the substance of what I have said and are simply repeating what you previously stated. Wikipedia is supposed to have a WP:NPOV, which includes not omitting relevant facts. -- पदाति (talk) 07:23, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

You have failed to provide any convincing argument to include it into the article. Please follow WP:DR Venkat TL (talk) 15:11, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

You seem to be trying to remove that fact simply because you don't like it, but Wikipedia is WP:NOTCENSORED. You cannot simply say "I don't want the fact to be there, so it should be removed". Please provide a legitimate reason to remove it, or else cease your WP:TE. --पदाति (talk) 17:57, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Vegetarianism in Mexico

Mexico is ranked #2 in vegetarianism globally, yet there is nothing in this article addressing the history, culture or changing trends around the vegetarian diet in Mexico. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:900A:FF00:1B:59CE:3F87:FB64:DD66 (talk • contribs) 19:38, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
