Object. Interesting, but I don't think it quite meets FA requirements yet. -- darkliight^talk 05:43, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Very short lead section
Citations should be added and the dictionary citations should be changed
Poor grammer throughout (eg. "Some feel that the word "french" in "french fries" is refers to...")
Lots of repetition in the Name and History sections.
With a good introduction, History should probably be the first section.

Object. Articles has no references or footnotes. Also, some sections are very small, and there is little order or reasoning to the inclusion or sequencing of sections. Needs to be reffered to Peer Review first. RyanGerbil10 05:44, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with most of these objections. However, I don't think the topic is trivial. Fried potatoes are part of just about every cuisine, worldwide. If the article were of a higher quality, it would be worthy of 'featured article' status. Zeno Izen 17:39, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
