Conflicting Information

I have learned from a broadcast of Hidden Chicago on PBS that the term Cafeteria was coined in Chicago. Yet, this article states that is of Spanish origin and coined in Los Angeles and another claims that it was coined in New York (Hutchinson Encyclopedia) Ishmael Rufus (talk) 06:27, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

America-centered

This article is really US-centered, it says nothing about dutch-style cafetaria's... Someone should write something about that. --62.251.90.73 28 June 2005 18:15 (UTC)

Is Michigan State University's cafeteria system really special enough to warrant its own section here? I think not. Teflon 12:21, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason all the external links are to MSU websites? Gentgeen 22:15, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm guessing the person writing it was an MSU student, and those are the sources he had.

Spanish Cafeteria

I dont think that link is really anything to do with this article. Here in Spain a "cafetería" is a café or coffee shop elsewhere. Not the same thing at all as what this article is about. Rosa.blaus 09:13, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures in this article

I took the liberty to remove one picture. In my opinion it was not a very good one because most of it was the back of a chair and the floor. Please put back if you like but an alternative would be better. Miguel Andrade 16:15, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation

Shouldn't this article be Cafeteria without the (structure) part? I understand that there is an organism named Cafeteria, but really, wouldn't most people be looking for the structure anyway? If the genus does ever get its own article, we can link it from the top of this article. Do we really need a separate disambiguation page? Lusanaherandraton (talk) 21:32, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
