Deceased Wikipedia editors that were supportive of this WikiProject

Flyer22 Frozen sadly passed away in January 2021. Flyer did not officially join the project but she was one of the first users I emailed on Wikipedia and she was supportive of the aims of the Project. Flyer a few days before she died emailed me telling me she had quit Wikipedia but I had done good work with this project and she hopes it continues. I still have that email. Flyer had quite a controversial Wikipedia history but she was a good editor. She will be missed. Flyer was a vegetarian herself and improved many articles in this area.
SlimVirgin who died in April or May 2021 was active on Wikipedia since 2004. This was a very experienced Wikipedia editor who created and improved hundreds of articles. She had created 369 Wikipedia articles and greatly improved many articles to GA status. SlimVirgin was supportive of this WikiProject and I spoke to her by email a few times. SlimVirgin did much valuable work on veganism related articles. A lot of the vegan studies article was expanded and written by her. Unfortunately this editor is no longer with us.

I wonder if a notice list or other tribute to editors who have died would be appropriate somewhere on the project page? BrikDuk (talk) 14:30, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What is a "meat analogue"?

The title of the Wikipedia article "meat analogue" is confusing and does appear to be a food industry jargon term or other technical language that is not appropriate as the article title. A search of news articles that include the term "meat analogue" through Google returns only 979 results that go to most URLs in industry publications and some food industry blogs. Then on Google: "plant-based meat" with a return of 139,000 results, "vegan meat" with returning of 21,900 results, "plant‐based meat alternatives" with return of 17,600, "meat substitute" with return of 13,300. The article in the second sentence definition does include that "More common terms are plant-based meat, vegan meat, meat substitute, mock meat, meat alternative, imitation meat, or vegetarian meat, or, sometimes more pejoratively, fake meat or faux meat." Do any editors read "analogue" as a technical and jargon vocabulary and would suggest a better known word to be used as title? BrikDuk (talk) 15:00, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

North American Vegetarian Society

Saw Maynard mentioning it in an edit summary, checked the red link, and there was a version deleted in 2011 because, it seems, of non-importance. Since that reasoning was inaccurate even then, the Society and its hall of fame were and are quite notable, probably an admin can bring it back if it's in adequate shape.

Help with Beyond Meat edit request

Hi Veganism and Vegetarianism community! My name is Soo, I work at Beyond Meat and am hoping to update the Wikipedia article with current and accurate information. Of course, I have a conflict of interest, so I posted some initial suggestions at Talk:Beyond Meat#Edit request. A few editors have encountered issues with the article in the past and feel some of the material is promotional, but I figured since your community has a deep understanding of the topic, you might be able to help steer the process. If you have the time, I would greatly appreciate your feedback and assistance. Hope to see you there! S at Beyond (talk) 15:22, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
