Some Wikipedians have formed a task force in order to make some suggestions about how we might organize data in articles about Herbs and Spices. These are only suggestions, things to give you focus and to get you going, and you shouldn't feel obligated in the least to follow them. But if you don't know what to write or where to begin, following the below guidelines may be helpful. Mainly, we just want you to write articles!

Scope[edit]

This task force aims primarily to provide a consistent article structure for herbs and spices articles so that Wikipedia can become the true online spice bible, since most web sources out there are very scattered and there is no one true source...many of them say different things depending upon the nationality and experience of the author, and other factors. Eventually this comprehensive information could all move over to the Wikibook:Cookbook.

• Ajwain
• Coriander
• Saffron
• Fenugreek

You can join our project by adding your name to the participant list and placing one of the user boxes (((User H&S)), ((User H&S2)) or ((User H&S3))) on your user page. Feel free to list any special interests after your name.
