[edit] Citing Referenses

I am working on the Burger King advertising article and am having some trouble citing the reference I used in garnering the data.

Here are a list of things I need help with:

  1. I watched commercials that were available on YouTube and RetroJunk; these older ads provided me with several of the older slogans and product information, but I have read that these websites should not be used as references. That the commercials exist is a fact and the information they provide is true, so how do I cite them?
  2. I used the copyright information in the commercials to date slogans, how would that be cited?
  3. Where there was a cross-promotional ad (E.G. Aladdin and BK Kids club) that included a slogan, I used the release date of the material that was being cross-promoted (from IMDb). So if Aladdin came out in 1992 and a slogan was in a commercial that was featuring the cross-promotion, the slogan is from 1992 also. That is a legitimate research technique that is used a lot of situations, I just do not know how to cite it.

All help would be greatly appreciated. Jerem43 21:20, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

What I'm worried about is the copyright status of those Youtube movies. You may be able to get help at WP:RFF and the help desk. Sorry no one's been able to help you. See also WP:CITE. Xiner (talk, email) 23:52, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Don't know about this sort of subject at all, though I suggest seeking out information on advertising or contacting Burger King's corporate history department. Mister.Manticore 19:20, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Competitive products"

A couple of points on your defense of the above title. The products themselves are not "competitive." People, businesses, teams, etc are competitive, sandwiches are not. Also, only the first word of a heading, unless it is a proper noun, is capitalized.

That being said, the current heading title (ie you current title) is still better than anything that either of us have come up with thusfar, however. Any other ideas? youngamerican (yo) 03:02, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TenderCrisp

I am trying to keep the pages for the BK products consistant in layout (Probably should create a standard layout for them) and respond to comments from other users, e.g. the fact that there should be a description of the article at the begining. I also try to keep an eye on my spelling, it is bad...

The facts are of concern to me when others edit the articles, some people don't have put opinions instead of facts regarding the BK products. I have some inside info as a former salaried manager of a now defunct BK franchisee.

I'm going to try to create some more stuff soon

If you still have any friends at BK, bge them to bring back the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 20:31, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The BBQ TenderCrisp

When does that come out? This is the best news that I've heard in weeks :) youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 01:28, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I think it is a test market sandwich, I saw it advertised at the Burger King in Westborough, MA on its reader board. BK could let it go national if it sells well.

[edit] AfD nomination of Burger King menu items

An editor has nominated Burger King menu items, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Burger King menu items and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

I just thought I'd let you know that an AfD is not a vote, and that it's considered something of a faux paux to solicit other people as part of the discussion. It's better to practice more neutral ways of bringing a page's nomination to attention, such as putting it on a noticeboard. Mister.Manticore 04:27, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I removed the improper request from the users page and will refrain from doing this again. Jerem43 06:23, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
