There is a sand box to play in.

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!

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]
