Talk:Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

huge amounts of promo text added, stuff added that isn't in the sources

I propose taking this back several weeks, as the promotional information that has been added is not in any of the sources cited. --valereee (talk) 03:49, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

For now I've tagged it, will be back, in the meantime anyone who wants to clean this up please have at it. --valereee (talk) 03:57, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Menu

Why does this section list twice the Sandwich Combo as one of the six combos? Besides, are detailed descriptions of menu items really what should be in an encyclopedic article? --FideKoeln (talk) 09:25, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

FideKoeln, agreed, unsourced overdetailed info and redundant content removed. —valereee (talk) 12:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

COI Edit Request

• Specific text to be added or removed: Not sure how it would be worded, something along the lines of Raising Cane's suing a mall in Indiana over the fact that they weren't told they couldn't sell chicken fingers
• Reason for the change: This seems like a pretty notable event since I'm finding several news sources covering it And would be a good line for a DYK if this article ever gets up to GA
• References supporting change: Heil, Emily (November 10, 2022). "Raising Cane's raises Cain over a lease that bans chicken fingers". The Washington Post.

removing paid editing

Hey, @Blaze Wolf, I think it's worth other editors seeing that this company has paid for editing, even if a particular editor has been blocked. Valereee (talk) 16:47, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

I agree, however I'm unable to verify that they actually did disclose that they were paid since the diff is invalid. If you can see it and confirm that they did disclose it then I'll add it back since I couldn't tell if it was just a troll that added it to be funny or something else. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 16:51, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Well, FWIW, I definitely do think the article has had a TON of UPE. Someone used to come in every time they opened another store to update the numbers. I spend a ridiculous amount of time on this stupid article. :D Valereee (talk) 17:04, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Ah fair enough. I'm an employee at one of their restaurants (though I'm not paid to edit, I looked through the entirety of the employee manual and it didn't mention anything relating to this so I'm simply doing it because I want to and not for money). The article does need some work altho it'll take a lot of editing. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 17:31, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for disclosing, and for not editing directly. Valereee (talk) 17:48, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

NO problem. I will really only edit directly if the change is obviously uncontroversial (such as punctuation) or if I feel I can word what I"m wanting to add in a neutral way. I always try to be as transparent and neutral as I can. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:33, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

COI Edit Request

Hey, @Blaze Wolf, can't get to the source, it's behind a paywall. What in particular does it say that you think should be added? Valereee (talk) 19:21, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

@Valereee: Wait it's paywalled? I was able to access it just fine. Hmm... have you tried viewing it through internet archive? ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:31, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

The headline is "Raising Cane’s settles suit, withdraws from planned Brea location near school" and the first sentence is "A popular fast-food chicken chain won’t be roosting in Brea, after all, following a legal challenge from concerned residents." The Los Angeles Times rations free articles on a monthly basis. When a reader hits the limit, they then hit a paywall. Cullen328 (talk) 19:40, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

@Cullen328: Ohhhhh that makes sense now. I was confused as to what Valereee meant when they said it was paywalled cause it gave no indication to me that it was paywalled. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:43, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Other California newspapers with similar restrictions include the San Jose Mercury News, the Sacramento Bee and the San Francisco Chronicle. I never read routine news on those sites, only highly unusual articles. Cullen328 (talk) 19:50, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Blaze Wolf I'm not sure how notable this is to feature in the article. Chain restaurants frequently have issues/controversies with planning new locations, and I would consider this more run-of-the-mill local news, given that there are 600+ store locations, and not worth putting here. Would you be okay if I closed the request or would you prefer someone else review the request? Spencer^T•C 05:25, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

@Spencer: Nope that's fine! ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:13, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Anomeister, do you have any source to back up your claim that it was actually B-minus? If so, what is it? If not, it cannot go on Wikipedia; see Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Verifiability#Responsibility_for_providing_citations.
