I am nominating this featured article for review because there are lots of uncited statements, including entire paragraphs. Z1720 (talk) 14:54, 2 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The uncited paragraphs arose from these edits that took place over an hour in 2021. The editor inexplicably broke up paragraphs and didn't copy across citations; everything should be cited by the following citation. Whonting (talk) 15:00, 2 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Just needs reverting tbh. There aren't any recent high-quality sources AFAICT that would mean this article needs updating Kowal2701 (talk, contribs) 16:37, 2 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure about recently, but The Oxford Companion to Food and Food Cultures of the World Encyclopedia have entries for the cuisine that aren't used. The Oxford Handbook of Food, Politics, and Society may have some comments worth mining. I'd rather not do it at FAR. Whonting (talk) 01:47, 3 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I have undone those paragraph breaks. They were not explained and did not appear to reflect concept divisions or have a motivation beyond shortening paragraphs for short paragraphs' sake. Stepwise Continuous Dysfunction (talk) 23:30, 7 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Kowal2701, I'll aim to bring in the above sources over the next few days, but would you be able to have a look at some more recent literature on the arrival of Austronesian seafarers on the island? The article currently gives a date of between 100 and 500 CE sourcing a 1996 article, but a quick look online seems to show this is an area of active debate and the 100 CE dating not common.

Thanks for ping, will do so tomorrow, I've been meaning to do this for another article too lol Kowal2701 (talk, contribs) 23:28, 21 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I've updated the settlement dates Kowal2701 (talk, contribs) 21:31, 23 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The uncited statements are resolved. @Whonting and Stepwise Continuous Dysfunction: Does the article still need updates with more current information? Since foods are a less popular topic at FA, this article will probably get selected for a TFA re-run after this is closed, so I'm excited to get this article updated.
