Good work Matt! Some of these have now been added to the article, I'll look through the others. All great sources. Moswento ^talky 10:54, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion of content, focus on chocolate

The article is still barebones, containing not enough information on chocolate ice cream. On the other hand, as this is just about chocolate ice cream, some of the content on this page is copy-pasted from the ice cream article, and is not needed on an article focusing on one flavor. The history section should only focus on the history of the flavor. I am not sure about the need for the availability section for a flavor that is so general. If it was an obscure flavor maybe, but on a flavor that is sold almost everywhere other flavors are sold, it seems redundant. Jelephant (talk) 20:01, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Everything in the article is focused specifically on chocolate ice cream, not ice cream in general. The history section only focusses on chocolate ice cream. -Newyorkadam (talk) 01:51, 13 January 2014 (UTC)Newyorkadam[reply]
