- References need to be cleaned up; at DYK we usually avoid promoting articles which use bare URLs as references. Could somebody please clean up the references using a clear format (not bare URLs) and filling in missing bibliographic information? rʨanaɢ (talk) 17:33, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
- Do you mean that I should replace them with {{cite web}}? --Nathan2055talk - review 19:18, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
- It's not mandatory that you use those templates, but you (or someone, it doesn't have to be you) should at least update them to use a clear citation style. What's most important is that bibliographic information is there (author, date, title; it looks like these have titles and in some cases publication names, but they should have more information so it's easier to find the sources when the URLs change or go dead) and that they aren't showing up as bare URLs. rʨanaɢ (talk) 21:27, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
- I'll try. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:04, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
- Formatting done. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:24, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
- Some rephrasing needed, sorry. Am about to log off for a while so might do this in several hours' time if someone doesn't beat me to it. Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:25, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- I took care of the legal section. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:21, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

I wish we could find a more interesting hook, this one is a little like advertising....Casliber (talk · contribs) 14:15, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
- Good point, will write an ALT1 hook. --Nathan2055talk - review 23:48, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
- ALT1:... that GrubHub Food Delivery & Pickup enables users to order food from restaurants online in eighteen different US cities?
