Project News

• Fourteen articles are at FA level and seventeen are GA level articles, with no change to articles at FA status and a decrease of two GA status.

• The Food Portal has been updated for the month of September. "The Green Fairy" makes a visit to the featured article spot and a quote by Oscar Wilde graces the page while a French culinary pioneer is the featured person of the month. Stop by and check out the featured picture of the famed Commander's Palace, which shows the recent renovations which took place after Hurricane Katrina. There are also some interesting facts under the "Did you know" heading. The news section is updated periodically during the course of the month, sometimes I am more diligent in updating it during some months more than others.

• I'm still trying to find the time to create a promotion tag for members to use as well as one to put on our assessment banner, until then it is encouraged that current members invite others that are working on food and drink related articles to become members of the project by placing a personal invitation on their discussion pages along with a link to the project.
