message: :He had such presence in these ads that many believed he was a professional actor.
Can this be repenned in such a way that the weasel clause "many [people] believed" is changed? That or some citation.
Just how many ads did he do? We've got 652 and "more than 800". Anyone have a citation on either number?Czrisher 19:06, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Many biographies mention that the original Wendy was Thomas's daughter Melinda, but what became of her?  Inquiring minds need to know. Ghosts&empties 11:00, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: What about Wendy

message: The restuarant he bgan working at as a busboy/dishwasher (the Hobby House) was in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  Also, he moved in with the owner's sister's family -- who was a waitress at the Hobby House (and my grandmother).  He also met his wife at the Hobby House -- she was a waitress.  Also, the Hobby House eventually closed and a Wendy's now sits on the very lot it occupied.

thread_title:  Some corrected info regarding his early years 

message: The article claims that Thomas was a "burger man", which is an unprofessional and surely improper term, and links to a nonexistent article.  I am changing the term to "restaurateur".

message: Good change with incorporating the term "restaurater" over "burger man." I agree, the tern "restaurater" is more fitting and portrays Thomas more accurately. --DavidD4scnrt (talk) 06:31, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

message: It appears that vandals have inserted unsourced claims that Thomas was adopted by a couple of Lebanese descent and that Thomas himself was of Greek descent.  If no one fixes that, I'm deleting those claims soon. --Coolcaesar (talk) 19:59, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Looking at the disambiguation, there's no Dave Thomas (businessman) page. If there's no need to distinguish him from any other businessmen named Dave Thomas, is it really necessary to have "American" in the title? 50.133.186.133 (talk) 02:19, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
