Jules Maincave

... that Jules Maincave's commitment to good food may have gotten him killed?

Source: "One evening, however, as the belligerence escalated and October came to an end, Maincave’s makeshift kitchen was struck by an enemy shell. “His eagerness led to his death,” the Times suggests: “He pushed forward his kitchen further than was wise in order to give his company the benefit of his art.”" - Mark, Sean (2019). ""Recipes for the Kitchens of the Future": The Futurist Art of Feeding". In Martell, Jessica; Fajardo, Adam; Keel Geheber, Philip (eds.).

Thanks for this Unsurprising, much appreciated. I have edited a picture of Maincave - File:Jules Maincave in Fantasio magazine (cropped).jpg - do you think this would be suitable for the image slot? Or maybe a more square crop - File:Jules Maincave in Fantasio magazine (square crop).jpg?

Unsurprising, fix ping. Whonting (talk) 02:00, 19 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Whonting: I approve both, though I personally prefer the vertical image, which shows his more of his chef outfit. Also, you should add that image to the article. Unsurprising 📝 🗣️💬 👥 12:58, 19 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

Excellent, thanks Unsurprising. This one is in the article - see the image captioned "Maincave pictured in 1913 in Fantasio [fr] magazine". I just cropped out the text and banner, which I read WP:DYKIMAGE as saying is okay for the front page. Let me know if I'm missing something. Whonting (talk) 13:03, 19 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

Very sorry for this, approving now! 🟢 Unsurprising 📝 🗣️💬 👥 13:04, 19 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
