Critique an article - Norwegian butter crisis

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_butter_crisis

1. Check a few citations. Do the links work? The link for reference number 13, "A Bitter Search for Butter" does not exist anymore.

Are there viewpoints that are over-represented, or underrepresented? The Response section under-represents the government's responses and public statements. The Aftermath section can add more topics as well, instead of just the economic impact, in topics such as new government proposals in response to the butter crisis.

Week 3: Intended Contributions and Sources

Contributions I would like to add a section on how the company works, such as its suppliers and operations. This would include its relations and types of contracts with its clients, plants and routes, and impact of governmental regulation.

I would also like to update Aramark's reported revenues and number of employees.
