QPQ: None required.

Overall: I added some citation needed tags in places that were missing a citation, which need to be resolved. Earwig did detect some copyright concerns, but I think the other sites copied from Wikipedia. Z1720 (talk) 18:20, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
@Z1720, this was discussed in the GA review as well. Each statement (like XYZ is a franchise based on the city) has its own article , so it was considered WP:BLUE. Kpddg ^(talk) 10:22, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

I took a look at the statements, and I would not consider them WP:BLUE. Furthermore, BLUE is an essay, which means it is "the opinion or advice of an editor or group of editors for which widespread consensus has not been established." (WP:POLICIES). Since DYK articles appear on the Main Page, there are stricter rules about what needs to be in the articles, and thus these statements will need citations to conform to WP:V.

I have added the citations Kpddg ^(talk) 14:27, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the citations. This is approved, with a preference for ALT0. Z1720 (talk) 14:35, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you Kpddg ^(talk) 15:12, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
