History of KFC

 * Nominator(s): Tom (talk) 12:22, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

This article is about the history of KFC, the fast food chain. This article has previously had two FA nominations, first receiving 4 Supports and 1 Oppose, and secondly receiving 5 Supports and 1 Oppose. Both Opposes were from the same user and expressed concerns regarding a need to spotcheck the references. So I would ask contributors to focus on that! Thanks! Tom (talk) 12:22, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Have you gone through and checked all the references yourself? Nikkimaria (talk) 12:40, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Perhaps 75%. I don't have time to do all of them at the moment. Tom (talk) 12:50, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Maybe you should've waited and checked them 100% and then nominated. If you don't have the time now then why did you nominate?  As per Dank, you now run the risk of people opposing for that very reason.  Cassianto talk 18:17, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Comment. I will probably wind up opposing unless someone (maybe the nominator) checks all the references, and then a spotcheck is done after that. There were enough cases of close paraphrasing and of inaccurately representing what was said in the sources that I wouldn't be comfortable just trusting that they're all fine, until someone actually checks that they're fine. - Dank (push to talk) 13:14, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Closing comment -- Actioning issues raised in previous FACs is a necessary part of the renomination process; on top of that there's been no activity here for the past 3 weeks, so I'll be archiving this shortly. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 05:27, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
