GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.

It is broad in its coverage.

No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

This article lacks almost every element in a good article. There are almost zero illustrations, there is no detail in the article and does not ever focus in at a single point on an topic. Below are a complete list of issues:
- No illustrations
- Article never focuses in on a concept
- Article has many short basic paragraphs
- Misuse of capital letters
- Lacks references
- Lacks complete sentences

I would recommend re-reading the criteria for good article status and re-submitting at a later time. Joe Gazz84^user•_talk•^contribs•_{Editor Review} 22:46, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Conflating two different foods[edit]

This article conflated two different foods with the same name. At first it talks about the Australian version, but everything after that is in reference to the southern US version. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.95.56.66 (talk) 19:00, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agree that we should split into two articles. They're largely different besides for their names, and one is a copyrighted and branded product.

Repetitive factoid[edit]

In this article, the anecdote about Dr. Nicholas Lang, who advises against ever consuming a hamdog, is mentioned twice for unknown reasons... Once is more than enough (and since his opinion is just hyperbole, IMO it deserves to be omitted entirely) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.17.82.7 (talk) 10:52, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
