edit

Can someone tone this down and make it read like an encyclopedic article rather than an advertising piece, it currently reads as if it's a feature in a magazine rather than something Wikipedia should be hosting. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:05, 28 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Puuuj (talk) 19:14, 21 August 2016 (UTC)Most of the article looks good, though the last section still seems to be written like an advertisement.Reply

5 or 4 flavors? edit

It says "that came in five flavors - vanilla, French vanilla, chocolate, and blue moon.", but that only lists 4. Is one missing, or were there really only 4? T-bonham (talk) 04:43, 30 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 00:09, 26 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Infobox and lead edit

  • For the infobox, I suggest using "plainlist" instead of <br />.
  • The lead also needs to be expanded to better summarize the article.

History edit

  • Remove the comma after "Park Dairy".
  • "to producing" → "on producing"
  • Add a comma after "different varieties".

Operations edit

  • "Afterwards" → "Afterward" (American English)


  • "that features" → ", which features"


  • "popular to" → "popular in"


Guinness Record attempt edit

  • "[21] . [22][23][24]" → "[21][22][23][24]"
  • Those videos near the bottom look messy on my screen and I'm not sure if they're necessary.
  •   Done Organized section for better display of picture and videos.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:03, 26 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

References edit

  • There are multiple references with [dead permanent link] tags, so I would find replacements.
  • Archive all archivable (either manually or with this tool).
