Talk:Checkers and Rally's

message: I removed it.  There's no good reason to list a dozen locations of no particular note with a notice tha the list is "not yet complete" as if it would be a good idea to list all 900+ locations.

message: Tagged article for cleanup as it is obviously not up to Wikipedia standards. Restructuring is probably the most needed edit. Also references are lacking. Anachronos 18:27, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

message: First of all, "french fries" is not supposed to be capitalized. And yes, some Rally's/Checkers do have only one drive-thru. The one in Clio, Michigan is attached to a gas station and has only one window. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 18:51, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I have noticed that Checkers is in the south and Rally's is in the north. Is that true? Parker1297 (talk) 16:31, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  hey 

message: The article states that Checkers and Rally's originated as different companies, started in two different years, served different parts of the U.S., and merged in 1999.  The slogan information implies that for ten years before that merger, they shared the same two slogans, each chain inserting their company names. I assume this is inaccurate, and that the two companies didn't market under the same slogans until around the time of the merger? FeygeleGoy/פֿײגעלע גױ‎ (talk) 04:12, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Shared slogans years before merger? 

message: This article about a Checker's advert got a minor amount of press coverage in 2007, but it has no real notability in itself, even with the 'controversy' about cats wearing fast food bags. I propose it be merged into the advertising section here. Fences&Windows 15:15, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge of [[Rap Cat]]

message: The following was removed from the article:
:Checkers has long been subject to criticism due to their lack of nutritional data or information about the ingredients in their food. When asked for this information, they stated their menu is in the process of undergoing change, and thus no information was available. While a select few items had basic nutrition info, the majority of the menu was without any nutritional information whatsoever. This has caused concern among vegetarians that beef and chicken products are used in the french fries. Dietitians have also raised concerns about the type of oil used and the sharing of fryers among different menu items. The fast food chain has stood out as the only mainstream fast food chain that is secretive about its menu ingredients and nutrition.[1] [2] Checkers and Rally's nutritional information has been made unavailable through the company website.[3]
Reasons:
* The first two citations are to non-RS citing WP as a source (the second is a blog claiming there is a "conspiracy" - for which his only evidence is a previous version of the Checkers Wikipedia article).
* The third reference is to a nutritional information page for the cocmpany that looks very similar to the ones for all other fast-food restaurants - Burger King, etc. So this contradicts the main claim of the paragraph that I removed - i.e. there IS a nutrition page with nutritional info, including fat types (trans fats etc.), carbs, etc., etc.
* The remainder of the paragraph makes uncited and unsubstantiated claims - "this caused concern among vegetarians", "has long been the subject of criticism", "dietitians have also raised concerns", "stood as the only fast food chain that is secretive", etc.
* I moved the cited nutritional info to another section about their menu which is where it belongs.Thank you, Jgui (talk) 02:33, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
