Hello! I will be excited to be reviewing this article. I will use a format with a main review then a source and/or prose review (s) at the end. (For example: my most recent review)

Comments

• I've taken a look at the 1st review and the 2nd. I will be using them to make sure you followed their tips/comments. (See Talk:Communist_Party_of_China/GA1, except it was a peer review)

• How about trying to using this kind of table for the time line of this article? Would it be appropriate? Brandon (MrWooHoo) • Talk to Brandon! 00:02, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
  • That is a cool format, but because of the linear nature of the time line plus its simplicity I think that would be overkill. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 09:15, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Notes from previous 2 reviews

1st GA Review

1st Review Nothing about the Whopper being launched in the early section, which is its most popular product. It's there.  Done "BK releases its first TV advertisement" - Not in body of text Also in there.  Done "The company begins to expand through franchising." - Not in body of text, and an important concept in regards to the history. Heavy use of [1] as a source, which is not a reliable source Also in there, 1 isn't overused, and from the looks of it, is reliable.  Done The "key dates" section is heavily used from the source above, I don't know if that's close paraphasing or a copy of the Wikipedia section but still, very problematic - quick fail right there. Paraphrasing issue looks fixed.  Done "Industry innovations" - nothing in the body of the text, just merge it.  Done Good job with fixing what Secret commented.

2nd GA Review
2nd Review Don't need to list the points the reviewer gave you, as you already fixed them on the review itself.

Main Review

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	From a first look, no glaring prose errors/copyvios, etc. Please see prose review for a more in-depth review of the prose. After the prose review, the article is polished in terms of prose.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	Lead is summarizing the article, no "weasel words," etc.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	References are provided to all information in the article from a first look. More will be covered in the source review. References are all AOK.
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	In line citations are correct, again more insight will be given in the source review. Same as above, all references are AOK.
	2c. it contains no original research.	No original research whatsoever, everything is referenced.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	All aspects are covered, and the article itself is broad.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	Article doesn't look like it veers off topic.
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	The article is neutral.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	The article/talk page itself doesn't look like it had any major edit wars/arguments.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	Images look good with valid fair use rationales, and copyright statuses correct.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	Images are relavent, and captions are suitable.
	7. Overall assessment.	Article is now GA! Thank you @Jerem43: for being an awesome nominator :) Brandon (MrWooHoo) • Talk to Brandon! 13:39, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Prose Review

Note: If you have changed the sentence that needed to be corrected, press Enter and start off the line with ::, then use Y or  Done If the change was only partially done use Y, and N or  Not done if the change could not occur. (If you would explain why, I would be greatly appreciated :P) To see code, go to edit source and copy the code.

• Lead

"The two initiated a corporate restructuring of the chain; the first step was to rename the company Burger King."

How about saying, "...a corporate restructuring of the chain; the first step being to rename the company Burger King."

 Done - reasonable change --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 06:51, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

• History Section

"It proved successful that, as they grew through franchising, they required all of their franchises to carry the device."

How about saying, "It proved so successful that, as they grew..."

 Done - I missed that typo, TYVM! --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 06:53, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

"By 1959 the pair had stores..."

Add a comma after 1959.

 Done - Another missed typo, thank you. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 06:55, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

(In 3G Capital subsection) "The proposed sale is expected to help the company repair its fundamental business structures and continue working to close the gap with McDonald's."

Change is to was in the first sentence.

 Done --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 06:56, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

"Seven of the top executives were released while another 261 employees..."

Add a comma after while.

Y Partially done - That comma would go before "while." --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 06:59, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

• Timeline section

1953: Insta-Burger King is founded in Jacksonville, FL By Kieth Kramer and Matthew Burns.

Add comma after FL, and make the by lowercase.

 Done --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 07:01, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

The deal between TPG and diageo nearly fails, but eventually goes through at US$1.6 billion (bn).

Capitalize Diageo.

 Done --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 07:02, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Source Review

• According to dablinks, references 33, 34, and 43 are all dead, and reference 50 redirects for someone to "sign up." Can you fix these please? Brandon (MrWooHoo) • Talk to Brandon! 01:24, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

1. Ref #33 -  Done - I removed the broken link as I cannot find an archive on Highbeam or other source. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 07:10, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
2. Ref #34 -  Done - I corrected the broken link. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 08:07, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
3. Ref #43 -  Done - The link is correct, I followed it to the article. Was it another link maybe? I found out, the link in article is differently numbered in the dab links page. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 08:12, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
4. Ref #55 - Done - I corrected the broken link. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 09:01, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
5. I went through the broken links and fixed all of them. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 09:01, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
