Old discussions[edit]

I don't understand why disjoint the main article in little articles if this sections are not enough developed. I understand to divide when the article is too large and certain sections are big, but this is no the case. I think somebody from the corporation do not agree with the criticism and NPV. --GengisKanhg (my talk) 19:04, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this article should be merged with the main article on McDonalds. [-->[<[Akatsuki]>]<--] (talk) 10:29, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Added the {{mergeto}} template. — ^Fatal Error 06:49, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, merge. There's more substance to the section in the McDonalds article than there is here. ProfDEH (talk) 21:16, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I argee too —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.36.189.61 (talk) 21:06, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:McDonald's Corporate Logo.svg[edit]

The image Image:McDonald's Corporate Logo.svg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.

That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Fixed. Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 08:59, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merging[edit]

I restored this article because its content has been effectively deleted rather than merged: [1].Biophys (talk) 22:59, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See the above section, you have effectively asserted ownership of the article, ignored WP:CONSENSUS, been WP:DISRUPTIVE, and have violated WP:V/WP:BURDEN. I suggest you undo your last edit. --Russavia ^Dialogue 23:20, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any discussion for a merge here, where is it? Martintg (talk) 02:31, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have a look above. Seeing as both you and Biophys, have reinserted unsourced info into the article, the WP:BURDEN is now on both you to completely source it. --Russavia ^Dialogue 02:37, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recent backlash on Israel-Palestine issue.[edit]

Is there anyone who can incorporate the recent controversy surrounding McDonald's in the critisism section, about giwing away free foods to the Israeli forces amidst unprecedented blockade on food, water, and supplies in Gaza? This situation has led to protests outside McDonald's outlets in Lebanon, with many also advocating for a boycott.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

Many in Egypt also are protesting for boycott.^[5] 182.183.0.254 (talk) 22:11, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
