Fried chicken

 * ... that fast food company Burger King withdrew an advertisement in 2012 in which Mary J. Blige (pictured) sang about a crispy chicken wrap, due to the racial stereotype associated with fried chicken?

 * Comment: The photograph has to be one that is used in the article. I will update the article for that. &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 06:05, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah sorry I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for fixing it.  Omni Flames  let's talk about it  07:07, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg To be honest, with a hook like this I was half expecting a KFC reference! Date and length fine. Hook bang on the 200 character limit and is cited inline in the article. QPQ done. No close para. Pic licence fine. Good to go.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 08:16, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't oppose promotion as is but this hook is quite clunky; is there any way you can make the hook more succinct? Intelligent  sium  21:01, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't quite understand what you mean, what is it that's a problem with the hook specifically?  Omni Flames ( talk ) 21:56, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

 * The referencing is a bit of a mess, with a combination of inline and non-inline cites. I'm surprised it passed GA in this condition. Could you make all the cites inline? Yoninah (talk) 14:41, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

I think you should check the article's history. The non-inline sources were added to the article after it was promoted to GA. I've reverted the article back to the last good version, before someone messed up the referencing and the headings. Oh yeah, and I think your hook would do best.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks for fixing that up, it looks way better now. Sorry I didn't check the page history before commenting. Since I just tightened the hook, I'll go ahead and restore the tick per The C of E's review. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 19:41, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
