[edit]

Can someone tone this down and make it read like an encyclopedic article rather than an advertising piece, it currently reads as if it's a feature in a magazine rather than something Wikipedia should be hosting. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:05, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Puuuj (talk) 19:14, 21 August 2016 (UTC)Most of the article looks good, though the last section still seems to be written like an advertisement.[reply]

5 or 4 flavors?

[edit]

It says "that came in five flavors - vanilla, French vanilla, chocolate, and blue moon.", but that only lists 4. Is one missing, or were there really only 4? T-bonham (talk) 04:43, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 00:09, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead

[edit]
  • For the infobox, I suggest using "plainlist" instead of <br />.
  • The lead also needs to be expanded to better summarize the article.

History

[edit]
  • Remove the comma after "Park Dairy".
  • "to producing" → "on producing"
  • Add a comma after "different varieties".

Operations

[edit]
  • "Afterwards" → "Afterward" (American English)


  • "that features" → ", which features"


  • "popular to" → "popular in"


Guinness Record attempt

[edit]
  • "[21] . [22][23][24]" → "[21][22][23][24]"
  • Those videos near the bottom look messy on my screen and I'm not sure if they're necessary.

References

[edit]
  • There are multiple references with [dead permanent link] tags, so I would find replacements.
  • Archive all archivable (either manually or with this tool).

Copyright contributor investigation and Good article reassessment

[edit]

This article is part of Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20210315 and the Good article (GA) drive to reassess and potentially delist over 200 GAs that might contain copyright and other problems. An AN discussion closed with consensus to delist this group of articles en masse, unless a reviewer opens an independent review and can vouch for/verify content of all sources. Please review Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/February 2023 for further information about the GA status of this article, the timeline and process for delisting, and suggestions for improvements.
