change the variations section so that new zealand is a country in which the mega mac/double big mac is available. the nz mcdonald’s website menu should contain the double big mac incase evidence needed. 2407:7000:9B01:200:DC:3CD8:D4E7:A097 (talk) 12:48, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Charliehdb (talk) 13:07, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Whopper / Big Mac

The Whopper should be listed under "See also", not as a similar product, because it has nothing to do with the Big Mac in terms of toppings. It's just BK's "signature burger". 95.91.193.10 (talk) 15:24, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. 21:54, 13 October 2024 (UTC) Christopher Rath (talk) 21:54, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox image

These three photos were discussed in 2023 at Talk:Big Mac/Archive 3#That's not a Big Mac in the picture (redux) without much consensus (the second one has since been updated to have a transparent background):

Amos (2011)
Crath (2020)
3df (2023)

Which should the infobox use?

I'd say the 3df photo. Amos notes on the older thread that they had reassembled the burger incorrectly when composing their photo (putting the cheese on top of the burger), so it would be misleading to use it. The draping lettuce strands and box stand seem like distractions on Crath's, even if the former is how a Big Mac would often be served. Belbury (talk) 09:11, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be either Craths or 3dfs. I like Craths better, but I don't see a policy or Manual of Style reason that makes either better. Nobody (talk) 06:13, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While Anemonemma generously credited me as a co-author of the third image, my work on it was seriously minimal and I do not feel comfortable with it being called the 3df photo, as all of the photography, lightbox construction, and post-processing was done by her. I only did dressage and planning the shoot. Our intent was to replicate Amos's style used in other articles with a sandwich that was assembled correctly and neutrally.

I want to note that we didn't get the sandwich with lettuce draping like that. Its location in our image is very close to where it was originally.

In my opinion, Crath's image looked better with the opaque background than it does with its new transparent background. The other options were lightbox photos intended for white out backgrounds. 3df (talk) 19:10, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
