Pancake King

[edit]

Is there a good reason why Pancake King redirects here?

Please fix this grammar, the following: "to, to"

[edit]

Current version

A related issue involving members of the Islamic faith over the interpretation of the Muslim version of canon law, Shariah, regarding the promotional artwork on a dessert package in the United Kingdom raised issues of cultural sensitivity,[149] and, with the former example, posed a larger question about the lengths that companies must go to, to ensure the smooth operation of their businesses in the communities they serve.[131]

Correction suggested:

"A related issue emerged among members of the Islamic faith regarding the interpretation of the Muslim version of canon law, Shariah, in relation to the promotional artwork on a dessert package in the United Kingdom. This raised concerns about cultural sensitivity [149] and, similar to the previous example, posed a broader question about the measures companies must take to ensure the smooth operation of their businesses in the communities they serve [131]."

My Comment

Additionally, why is this article locked? (this is a rhetorical question) If Wikipedia encourages users to edit and fix grammar, this premise seems false, as I am unable to edit it. Gameking69 (talk) 18:04, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Done: I made the change.
P.S. Did you have an edit request open? Why was it removed? That's where I was notified, and this isn't an improper usage.
P.P.S. Pages are locked for a variety of reasons. Most often, it's an action against vandalism. Wikipedia does encourage users to contribute in different ways, including to "edit and fix grammar" -- Like you have just done. Thank you for the edit!

Semi-protected edit request on 17 June 2024

[edit]

This request went unresolved for several years so I'm repeating it.

The founders of Insta-Burger King were Matthew Burns and Keith G. Cramer, not Keith J. Kramer as written in the article. Please change all "Keith J. Kramer" to "Keith G. Cramer", etc.

Sources for the name:

  • McLamore, Jim; The Burger King: A Whopper of a Story on Life and Leadership (2020): "Keith G. Cramer and Matthew L. Burns"
  • Cooley, Angela Jill; To Live and Dine in Dixie: The Evolution of Urban Food Culture in the Jim Crow South (2015): "Matthew L. Burns [...] and his son-in-law, Keith G. Cramer"
  • Smith, Andrew F.; Encyclopedia of Junk Food and Fast Food (2006): "Matthew Burns of Long Beach, California, invited his stepson, Keith G. Cramer"
  • Jakle, John A. et al; Fast Food: Roadside Restaurants in the Automobile Age (1999): "Matthew Burns of Long Beach, California, and Keith G. Cramer, Burns' stepson"
  • Langdon, Philip; Orange Roofs, Golden Arches: The Architecture of American Chain Restaurants (1986): "Cramer and Burns went to Jacksonville"

Furthermore, here is a scan of an advertising pamphlet from the time, it reads "Owned by Keith Cramer and Matthew Burns" 147.147.59.174 (talk) 12:34, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Charliehdb (talk) 15:15, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To repeat myself, Please change all "Keith J. Kramer" to "Keith G. Cramer" How could I be any clearer? 217.45.109.243 (talk) 22:25, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Done M.Bitton (talk) 20:11, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The request is to change "Keith J. Kramer" to "Keith G. Cramer". Your edit changed it to Keith G. Kramer, not Keith G. Cramer as requested.

Semi-protected edit request on 16 August 2024 use tweet ref-name not abuse dummy ref

[edit]
−
|ref = {{dummy reference|1}}

|ref-name = TweetBurgerKingUK_2
−
|ref = {{dummy reference|2}}

|ref-name = TweetBurgerKingUK_3

This actually shows the clickable ref with the URL and is the proper way to avoid cite errors with multiple tweets. 142.113.140.146 (talk) 11:50, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect stock info.

BKC is not the NYSE ticker symbol for burger king. This needs to be corrected. 96.73.34.129 (talk) 07:21, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Year

[edit]

the article says that Insta-Burger King was renamed to Burger King in 1959, but when i go to the Logopedia article, it says that the name "Burger King" was adopted in 1954, am i correct? 95.24.4.60 (talk) 18:27, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No; fandom and other user-generated content sites do not meet reliable sources criteria. OhNoitsJamie Talk 19:18, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
