==were are the new pattys ? --2001:5B0:25FF:3EF0:0:0:0:3C (talk) 17:54, 8 February 2015 (UTC) i woul--2001:5B0:25FF:3EF0:0:0:0:3C (talk) 17:54, 8 February 2015 (UTC)dn't attempt to edit this article myself, but there are things in here that i don't think are correct. for example the article states that the book called "The Complete Hamburger" is out of print and being reprinted as the book called "Ronald Mcdonald's International Burger Book" and yet here they BOTH are available for purchase on Ronald Mcdonald's website: [1][reply]

the article also states that the first mcdonald's brothers restaurant was opened in 1940 but on Ronald Mcdonald's website there is a picture described as being the first mcdonald's opened by the brothers in 1948 before they were using the arches, here: [2]

i hope that someone will be able to check into this and correct any mistakes.

While this article needs work, this particular detail is not a mistake; the brothers started their (barbecue) restaurant in 1940, but converted it into the streamlined fast-food hamburger format (that McD's is still based on today) in 1948.

Almonds?

I removed the "McDonald's put almonds in the beef" story, because on the face of it it is rather hard to believe. If it's true, please cite a source and add more details (where, when). Robaato 11:24, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"During the writing of the book, Dick and Mac requested use of archive photos from the McDonald's Corporation. " That's supposed to have been in 1998. According to the article. But Mac had been dead for 27 years already. Ronald instead? Most likely, but neither would I attempt to change anything in this confusing article.

In the article, "Dave" suddenly appears where the preceding statement refers to and implies "Neil Fox". ¿Qué? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.92.40.167 (talk) 18:55, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Archibald Campbell

Please do not revert the edit I made (accidentally as 71.104.206.216) to Deaths. That is my great-great-grandfather and I think the public should know about this. I am very sensitive about it so please don't revert it. BriMaster2 (talk) 05:24, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No credit given to the McDonald brothers

Go into any McDonald's restaurant and you'll likely see a plaque praising Ray Krock. Not a word about the McDonald brothers anywhere. If it wasn't for them, the chain wouldn't exist.173.60.95.232 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:53, 18 June 2011 (UTC).[reply]

McDonald's first franchised restaurant

To see pictures of McDonald's first franchised restaurant (1953) go to Google > Images and search: McDonald's Phoenix 1953. The restaurant was located at 4050 N. Central Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona. 22 April 2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.22.236.166 (talk) 20:58, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ancestry

The claim to Irish ancestry badly needs citation. It is all very well an author writing that they have seen copies of census records but this isn't good enough for other articles therefore not good enough for this one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrspy (talk • contribs) 21:15, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed it since the whole thing was unsourced. From what I've seen (vaguely) they were actually of Scots stock.--English Bobby (talk) 17:34, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It was not unsourced ^[1] and ^[2] and the Surname 'MC Donald' is Irish the Scottish version is 'MAC Donald'. I put their ancestry back in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EddieQuist81 (talk • contribs) 02:52, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
