Gerald, the definition of "delicacy" is: something pleasing to eat that is considered rare or luxurious, as 'caviar is a delicacy' . Saimin is a food of many ingredients, none is rare; and neither is saimin itself. I'm searching for better word(s) - Marshman 17:39, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Shouldn't the recipe be in WikiBook, instead of an article? -Minh Dec 04
- Yes. A recipe is inappropriate for an encyclopedia. --Poiuyt Man (talk) 11:05, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Clean-up
I placed the {{cleanup}} template in the article because the writing tone sounds more like it belongs in a children's fable than in an informational piece. Broad statements such as "In some ways, saimin gave birth to Hawaii's notoriety as a haven of multicultural harmony today" need to be replaced with more useful details and facts.
There also seems to be inconsistent use of "Hawaii" and "Hawai'i".

[edit] Removal of pictures
A copyright holder of one of the pictures previously in the article contacted the Help Desk to request removal of the picture.
I'm not sure how I am supposed to report this violation, however, you have a photo of mine posted at this link here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Palacesaimin.jpg
The person who posted this photo is not the owner of the photo and took the photo from this post at my weblog:
http://onokinegrindz.typepad.com/ono_kine_grindz/2004/05/palace_saimin.html
On your site, it says the photo was uploaded by a Gerald Farinas. I would like to request that this photo be removed from your site immediately.
Thank you.

[edit] Nutritious?
I have to question this statement. Every person has his definition of what is and what isn't nutritious. According to the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, just the noodles themselves contain 225mg of sodium! With the soup base and garnishes, the sodium content shoots up to 425mg. This is a large amount, considering that large amounts of sodium in a diet can lead to high blood pressure. Sure I get my fill of some green onion and egg, but at the same time my blood pressure shoots up a notch. And, the reference to schools serving saimin for lunch needs citing. I service computers at various schools throughout the DOE, and not once have I ever seen saimin on any school lunch menu. If one or two schools serve saimin, that still doesn't allow a generalization like to be made. Groink 10:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
