What the fuck is this? Why does Wikipeda want us to think this is common?

Literally the first picture of food on:
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_as_food
Wouldn't this be a very unfulfilling meal?

[Anonymous No.13426043]

Wikipedia is edited by its users. Someone had a picture of eggs used as food and put it up on the eggs as food article. It fits and it doesn't matter what they're having their eggs with. Don't overthink things that matter little.

But shouldn't it be the most archetypal example of what you think when you think:
>Eggs as food
Right?

[Anonymous No.13426066]

There are other examples in the article. Why are you so passionate about your favourite version of eggs being on the top of this article ? Are you the guy from pic related ?

[Anonymous No.13426077]

>>13426066
I am. It is because, when someone goes to search the Internet for information about "eggs as food", they will be met with this lie. Imagine the damage this could do?

[Anonymous No.13426080]

>>13426047
Probably, but why give a shit?

[Anonymous No.13426083]

I can very well imagine the absolute lack of damage this could do to anything because it is trivial.

[Anonymous No.13426098]

Because smaller "facts" on Wikipedia have become "codified truth", due to being repeated so often. It is a risk to the culinary preparation of eggs.

>>13426083
Oh, so naive. Just you wait, one day, you'll go out for breakfast and be served this as a "common egg based dish". I hope you enjoy your passive complicity.

Wikipedia isn't one person, although there are certain people who do very large amounts of article writing, file posting, and editing for Wikipedia compared to the rest of the users e.g. There was a news story all over the place a while back about one guy whose articles accounted for something like a third of Wikipedia at the time.
In this case the person who added the picture was User:Netha Hussain. And the source was https://www.flickr.com/photos/ipalatin/5407906910/ which is apparently a picture of what a French woman named Isabelle Hurbain-Palatin had for lunch back in late January of 2011. She describes the dish in English as "sunny-side up eggs and carrots with parmesan and cream."
If you want to try to get a different picture made as the main article picture you can definitely give it a shot. It's not like you need a special license or something to make edits to Wikipedia articles. You just need to have an actually reasonable explanation for why you're making the edit you're making (or if you don't have that then you just need to be making an edit on an article so few people care about that no one bothers to go back and undo your edit afterwards).
Anyway it's not what I would eat normally but I don't see what the problem is. Are the carrots what bother you here? Certainly in the US you'd see bacon, sausage, and/or hash browns with eggs a lot more often than you would see carrots, although either way it's still food people are eating. Also I think the general Wikipedia policy on main article pictures is that you're encouraged to try to use examples that aren't overly dominated by what's popular in the US specifically (provided it's not a US specific article). Which is similar to how an actual encyclopedia would tend to operate where they try not to let one particular cultural bias dominate an international resource.

Just fucking register to the website and upload your superior picture if you're so absolutely assblasted about it but know that there is nothing wrong about this picture, it's all in your head.

Egg is an important nutritional source.

>one day, you'll go out for breakfast and be served this as a "common egg based dish".
Most restaurants have menus with multiple options to chose from and you can probably get carrots with eggs at plenty of places already. Also the picture is of a woman's lunch, not breakfast.

Mhm, this answer has actually softened my immediate reproach. I might bring it up in newly created talk section on the article, although, considering it might be to remain culturally neutral, perhaps it is best left "as is".
Thank you for taking the time to article such an eloquently worded and fairly measured response.

What would be a better replacement though, wouldn't we have to conduct a survey to determine the archetype?

>>13426122
What about a taster menu?

[Anonymous No.13426154]

>>13426132
Yes, conduct a survey with yourself in order to understand what you think would be more appropriate to illustrate eggs as food than eggs as food and don't forget to keep us in the loop you mad bastard.

[Anonymous No.13426162]

>>13426154
That's a novel idea, but surely a survey is "truer" to the archetype with a sufficiently proportionate sample size?

[Anonymous No.13426700]

you don't like milk carrots and eggs?
