  • ... that meal kit delivery service Plated (logo pictured) earned a deal with one of the sharks on Shark Tank that fell through before getting a deal with another?

  • Article is new and long enough at 1,913 prosa chars. It is neutral and cites sources inline. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports no copyvio issues. Hook is well formatted and its length is within limit. Its fact is accurate and it is sourced inline. QPQ was done. The image is ©-free. Good to go. CeeGee 11:47, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
  • Another what? Another shark? The hook is not clearly worded. Yoninah (talk) 21:31, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

  • It's OK now. CeeGee 14:18, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but have some questions. There are two words at the end of the first paragraph under History, followed by three citations – what is the sentence? Also, the only description of what Plated does appears in the lead (unsourced). The rest of the article reads like a business report. Could you add some description of the company's operations or product so this will be a start-class article? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 01:12, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
  • The sentence immediately following those two words is unclear; please revise. Also, this later sentence is badly out of date—In June 2015, the company was expected to surpass $100 million in revenue for the year. When we're in late 2017, the company's actual revenues for 2015 should be a matter of historical record, so rather than obsolete expectations, results should be given (or, if considered notable, the actual 2015 revenues vs. earlier expectations).

Restoring tick, as the above concerns have been addressed. In turn:
  1. Unfinished sentence: fixed
  2. No description of what the business actually does, beyond uncited lead: first sentence in "History" gives a description, and is cited
  3. Unclear sentence: fixed
  4. Out of date projected revenue: explanation given makes sense (nothing more current available), and in context (2015 and 2016 finances), it is describing the historical financial performance of the company. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:52, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
