Good article on Smith

Per the previous review, the use of Answers.com as a general tertiary source is discouraged (see the history of this discussion in the WP:RS/N archives). However, the use of Answers.com as a convenience link to reliable sources may be acceptable in some instances.  In this case, it is not needed because a more accurate version of the original company history is available at HighBeam, so one is forced to ask why Answers.com is being cited here.  If it's being cited to self-reference Wikipedia, then it cannot be used.  If it is being cited only to cite Gale, then the following reference may be acceptable in some instances:

"Burger King Corporation." International Directory of Company Histories, 56. St. James Press, 2004.
Do not cite "Funding Universe", "Answers.com", or even Ginger G. Rodriguez, as it has since been edited by Salamie and Stansell.  If, on the other hand, this citation is being used to self-reference Wikipedia content included in the Answers.com page, then this GA nomination must be failed.

if Tim Horton coffee was served at Burger King, I along with many, many more would be there daily. 2601:4C1:C580:D760:E5F2:6298:17F0:80F8 (talk) 21:36, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
