Notice: I am restoring this topic from the archives, since we seem to have a multi-persion mini-edit war over the lead photo. JustinTime55 ( talk) 14:30, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
This picture does not show a Big Mac, but rather, a replication of some sort. A Big Mac's burger capacity would be leaking with grease and the cheese would most likely be quite moldy. Also, the cheese on that knockoff is clearly an individually wrapped "single". McDonald's doesn't use individually wrapped "singles", and neither does any other fast food joint that I know of (what a waste of time that would be; unwrapping every slice of cheese); they use cheese sliced from a block. "Singles" (e.g., Kraft Singles) are individually molded into their wrappers, giving them a distinctive appearance. On top of that, the bread doesn't look right, and there are at least three pickle slices in it, while a Big Mac only has two. Even if by some set of bizarre circumstances, the pictured burger did come from an actual McDonald's restaurant, it obviously does not represent the standard Big Mac configuration. – MaximRecoil ( talk) 04:47, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
I've worked at both McD and BK, this is a Big King. Big Macs have the cheese slice rested on the bottom bun, as well as using tiny cubed onions instead of slivers. Can we fix this already? RT171195 ( talk) 23:52, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
I went to McDonald's with some friends today and picked up a Big Mac to try to get a better photo. We're wondering if it would be better for the infobox.
The burger pictured is almost exactly as we received it – I tucked in a few pieces of lettuce, and pushed the top bun back 1-2mm, to make it easier to see each patty.
We can make further changes to the image or do a reshoot if necessary. 3df ( talk) 07:14, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
Use the best quality images available...Think carefully about which images best illustrate the subject matter.. However, I think the current one is of better quality than yours. Nobody ( talk) 07:40, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
I think the current picture fits that description ( MOS:IMAGEQUALITY) better, but feel free to disagree.has not changed. It's obvious that you think your image is better, but at this point, we need more uninvolved input. I suggest waiting until other editors share their opinions. There are, of course, other solutions you can try; see Wikipedia:Dispute resolution for that. (Since WP:3O doesn't apply here, the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard could be your next step.)
