Hamburger

I randomly came across this page and was very impressed. Seems to be well written. In fact the article was even cited by the Cleveland Plain Dealer as a source! [1] I think that shows how well of an article it was to be cited by the media. OmegaWikipedia 12:42, 15 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Size of lead is too large in relation to the article itself.
  2. Article contains unneeded fair use images.
  3. Wiki Cookbook link is not in the external links section.
  4. There's no sources (especially the etymology needs them). They need to be in a seperate references section.
  5. Article is missing references to popular culture (for example Supersize Me). Not comprehensive. - Mgm|(talk) 20:58, 15 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object. As per previous objectors and because of the over-specifics of the "Serving style"-section. Keeping separate sections on individual countries is not a good idea. You'll just wind up with users adding the serving style of their own country sooner or later. Revamp it into a more generalized section that describes hamburger styles in how they differ from larger cultural areas, not individual nations.
  • And what's with the promotional photos? If there are to be pics of franchise burgers, I want them to be of what the actual burgers look like, shot by Wikipedians, not corporate propaganda centers. Anyone who's ever eaten at a fast food restaurant is very aware of the fact that the photos used to display the merchendise is a shameless destortion of reality. / Peter Isotalo 12:09, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Responses Ahh, the article does have references, but I suppose they arent referenced correctly, and that they could use some more. I dont know if I'll have time to fix up the article before this FAC fails, but thanks for the comments everyone. Don't know if Supersize Me should go in this article, because that applies to all products of McDonalds (not just hamburgers) but I did expand on the cultural references. And I think the professional work better....unless you seriously want me to go and take a picture of a hamburger with my camera. OmegaWikipedia 12:19, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Object for now. A section on references to popular culture is still needed. And I suggest you split the "Serving size" section into a separate article if you ever want this hamburger article to have a decent chance to become an FA. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 14:23, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
