Talk:Incredible hulk (drink)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This mixed drink or bartending-related article is supported by the Mixed Drinks WikiProject, a project to improve Wikipedia's materials related to mixed drinks, bartending, and related subjects.
This is one of the better articles within the scope of our project. We would really appreciate your help in improving it. It needs to have a good introduction, be well-rounded, discuss the origins and history of the topic, provide current information, give pop-cultural references, and clearly establish the notability and importance of the topic. Not every topic covers all of that, but certainly as much as possible should be included.

[edit] Previous deletions
I created this article before I realized that a previous article about the drink had been deleted from Incredible Hulk (cocktail). Since the article was deleted I can't tell if the new article I've created is substantially different from the old content, however I think the origin story and popularity among the hip-hop crowd (which will be expanded) make this article worthy of being kept.

- Yes. This article has been considerably expanded, both in article content and in references. The original article was not much more than the single paragraph you removed from the List of cocktails. Thank you for giving such a good start to this new incarnation of the article. I added to it with linked information someone found for me. Given the notability, the popularity (New York to Hawaii), the references in popular culture, and the longevity of the drink (earliest citation is from 2002), I think this article should qualify as an article worthy of retaining in the Wikipedia. I hope so anyway, because now it's in better condition than many of the mixed drink related articles here. --Willscrlt 07:39, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot for your work, the article's looking great! Brad T. Cordeiro 23:02, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Recent edit concerns
I have seen a few reversions and controversial edits taking place with this article. Specifically:

- Someone prefers more Hpnotiq to Hennesy in their Hulks, but I have provided three references (including Hpnotiq's website which has a strong interest in selling more Hpnotiq) that all clearly state the correct proportions are equal parts of 2 fl oz each.
- The claim of this drink being known as a "One cup, Fuck up" is completely unreferenced. The only references I found to this term were completely unrelated or were copies of this Wikipedia article. Unless some reliable sources can be located and cited, that reference should remain deleted as it is most likely a local term for the drink or a crude hoax.
- The new picture added to the article has no copyright information associated with it that I could find. If the original uploader, Pooleyusk could add that information, and if the license is an improvement over the current one (fair use), then the new photo should replace the current image (it's always better to replace fair use images with freely licensed ones when practical). The current photo is from Hpnotiq and meets all fair use requirements, but if Pooleyusk's photo is an original creation, that would be a better choice. If it's not a freely licensed one, then it would probably be better to stick with the one we know is acceptable to use here.
