== Semi-protected edit request on 12 April 2017

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

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.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. JTP ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:14, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 12 April 2017

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Whopper. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

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.

There is an active TV advertising campaign by Burger King that attempts to force Android Phones and Google Home devices to respond to the person on television saying, "Ok Google, What is a Whopper Burger?". It is part of Wikipedia's 10 Simple Rules for Editing Wikipedia, specifically Rule #7 to not use Wikipedia as an advertising platform. The above reads as obvious ad-copy. I think the opening of the article reads just fine as is. —ASPENSTI—TALK—CONTRIBUTIONS 17:34, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
