As Jif seems to be marketed only in the UK and Ireland, should the article not use British English? Optimist on the run (talk) 14:41, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Yes. I will copy edit the article to remedy this. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 14:51, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks - I've updated today's DYK hook to "blow-moulded". Very interesting article BTW. Optimist on the run (talk) 15:25, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Infobox

• You may add a logo if you desire, but can see both ways if it's necessary or not: since it is easily visible in the picture included of the Jif lemon, you can see the logo, but I don't know if you want to have an independent image or not; it's up to you

A logo is difficult to find on the Unilever website (I remember looking before). There is a document in PDF format available on the site, but the logo is not very visible, and the images are too blurry. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 06:21, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, like I said, the included image is pretty self-explanatory. Carbrera (talk) 06:21, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

• You can remove the unneeded parameters:

• Discontinued
• Related
• Trademarkregistrations
• Ambassadors
• Tagline
• Website
• Module
• Module1

• However, since you mention in the lead below that the US company "Borden" introduced "similarly-shaped plastic lemon containers", you could probably add it to the "related" parameter
• Similarly, is there a "Jif" website? If so, add it to the "website" parameter

• I checked and could not find a "Jif" website so ignore the following suggestion. Carbrera (talk) 06:18, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

The above have all been done, except that I left the website parameter in place, just in case Unilever ever creates a website or webpage about the brand. That way, another user could then add it, even if it's years later. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 06:25, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Lead

• The statement "Unilever acquired the Jif brand in 1995 for £250m, when it purchased Colman's of Norwich." looks a bit misplaced since it is a singular statement, does it even need mention here?

I have integrated this information into the Jif brand section. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 06:14, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Packaging

• The final statement regarding the "World War II" mention could be added to the paragraph above it

I prefer it as a standalone paragraph, because the previous paragraph is about the development and production of the packaging, whereas the third paragraph is about the potential of similar packaging. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 06:06, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

History

1970s

• Is this short statement even necessary? If so, I'd perhaps add on to to it?

I have moved the sentence to the Jif brand section of the article. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 06:08, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

• Definitely add "Borden" to this list please

This may be too vague of a link. Borden used to own the brand, but it's now owned by Dr Pepper Snapple Group. ReaLemon is already linked, which includes information about Borden in it. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 06:10, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

My bad! Carbrera (talk) 06:11, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

End of GA Review:

Definitely one of my smallest reviews ever, likely due to the fact that this article is fantastically written, and contains details that are worded well and with spot-on accuracy. I will place it on hold for seven days and feel free to ping with me with further questions or once you have completed any changes. Thanks, Carbrera (talk) 04:38, 5 June 2016 (UTC).

As you have likely noticed, I haven't done much since this review so I've been paying attention to your edits. I would be happy to pass this article and will do so now. Great work as always! Cheers, Carbrera (talk) 06:29, 5 June 2016 (UTC).

@Northamerica1000: Is where I placed it here correct? Please change it if so. Thanks! Carbrera (talk) 06:32, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

@Carbrera: I moved the entry to the Food section on the page (diff), because it's not a company, but rather is a brand of a food product. Also, Thanks for the very timely review. You were already responding here right after I began work addressing your points! Thanks again, and keep in touch. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 06:35, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
