On the header where it says "Burger King Corporation", I want it to be edited to "Burger King Company LLC", because that is the organization which is credited in all recent promotional material for the chain. 207.191.193.60 (talk) 18:32, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lede is TOO Long

OK folks, this seems obvious - but the lede section is WAY too long. It should, IMHO, be broken down into the conventional sections. Everything after that first paragraph needs to be relocated or deleted. Anyone agree? 174.171.71.34 (talk) 09:40, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
