Pancake King

Is there a good reason why Pancake King redirects here?

Semi-protected edit request on 17 June 2024

This request went unresolved for several years so I'm repeating it.

The founders of Insta-Burger King were Matthew Burns and Keith G. Cramer, not Keith J. Kramer as written in the article. Please change all "Keith J. Kramer" to "Keith G. Cramer", etc.

Sources for the name:

• McLamore, Jim; The Burger King: A Whopper of a Story on Life and Leadership (2020): "Keith G. Cramer and Matthew L. Burns"
• Cooley, Angela Jill; To Live and Dine in Dixie: The Evolution of Urban Food Culture in the Jim Crow South (2015): "Matthew L. Burns [...] and his son-in-law, Keith G. Cramer"
• Smith, Andrew F.; Encyclopedia of Junk Food and Fast Food (2006): "Matthew Burns of Long Beach, California, invited his stepson, Keith G. Cramer"
• Jakle, John A. et al; Fast Food: Roadside Restaurants in the Automobile Age (1999): "Matthew Burns of Long Beach, California, and Keith G. Cramer, Burns' stepson"
• Langdon, Philip; Orange Roofs, Golden Arches: The Architecture of American Chain Restaurants (1986): "Cramer and Burns went to Jacksonville"

Furthermore, here is a scan of an advertising pamphlet from the time, it reads "Owned by Keith Cramer and Matthew Burns" 147.147.59.174 (talk) 12:34, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

To repeat myself, Please change all "Keith J. Kramer" to "Keith G. Cramer" How could I be any clearer? 217.45.109.243 (talk) 22:25, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

The request is to change "Keith J. Kramer" to "Keith G. Cramer". Your edit changed it to Keith G. Kramer, not Keith G. Cramer as requested.

Burger King, Pune

Please see what can be added from this. Kailash29792 (talk) 11:03, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Incorrect stock info.

BKC is not the NYSE ticker symbol for burger king. This needs to be corrected. 96.73.34.129 (talk) 07:21, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Wrong Year

the article says that Insta-Burger King was renamed to Burger King in 1959, but when i go to the Logopedia article, it says that the name "Burger King" was adopted in 1954, am i correct? 95.24.4.60 (talk) 18:27, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

No; fandom and other user-generated content sites do not meet reliable sources criteria. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 19:18, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

Actually if you look at the infobox it says that the present-day name Burger King is adopted in 1954. 95.24.5.7 (talk) 17:20, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

I've removed the 1959 renaming based on period newspaper ads. For example: a Burger King franchise ad in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette for July 29, 1955 (five down from the highlighted ad). Skywatcher68 (talk) 17:05, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Edits to "Legal disputes" section

I reorganized the Legal disputes section by adding subheadings to improve readability and to group related legal issues more clearly. However, during the process I noticed that some of the content may be more appropriately classified as general controversies rather than legal disputes per se. Also, there are a substantial number of animal welfare controversies / policy changes in particular, that are not well represented by the current section.

To address this, I propose splitting off a new section titled "Animal welfare" and one called "Other Controversies", which would cover advocacy campaigns, public criticism, and non-litigious shareholder actions. This would allow the Legal disputes section to focus more narrowly on formal legal actions, regulatory issues, and litigation involving the company. It would also match the structure on related pages like McDonald's – Animal welfare
