Please add "The Whopper is a burger, consisting of a flame-grilled patty made with 100% beef with no preservatives or fillers, topped with sliced tomatoes, onions, lettuce, pickles, ketchup, and mayonnaise, served on a sesame-seed bun." to the very beginning of the article, before the first paragraph. I want there to be no ambiguity about what the product is, since it is easily mistaken for the Whoppers chocolate and other similarly named items. People have been going in and changing this definition, which is why an administrator removed the line was altogether. This change would really help call out what distinguishes The Whopper as a burger, and the protection would help prevent further tampering with the page.
