I've listed this article for peer review because I would like to bring it to "A" status and want to know what needs to be done to improve it.

I have run the script and made the recommended changes. Could a human please take a look now? --- Jeremy (talk) 16:52, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit]A few comments - I've copyedited a bit at the start of the article
- The bit in the lead on the number of stores and countries needs a time that this was true - it will date quickly (fiscal year 2007)
- Add a note in the lead as to where it was founded.
- Perhaps note which products failed in the US that were successful elsewhere.
- Quite a few bits of redundancy or where copyediting is required - I've fixed a few (hopefully to the betterment of the article)
- eg: When the company began, its menu consisted predominantly of hamburgers, french fries, soft drinks, and desserts. Beginning with the Whopper sandwich in 1957, BK has expanded the breadth of its menu by adding various non-beef items like chicken, fish, vegetarian offerings such as salads and meatless sandwiches; a breakfast menu; and non-soft drink beverages such as Icees, juices and bottled waters.

- Some unnecessary POV injected in the article with phrases. Better to state the facts in some cases and let the reader determine if say: the offering was simple, the actions were socially responsible etc...
- a socially responsible corporation
- a simple offering of burgers, fries, sodas and milkshakes
- Too much of the Products section starts .... In <year> X happened. It reads a bit as a dot point list and would be better as prose
Overall a good read - Will try look for more tomorrow if time permits - Peripitus (Talk) 03:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
