Richard MacDonald

Just a couple of quick notes:

You removed the hatnote "For the fast-food pioneer" - which lets readers know if they've ended up at the wrong place in case they are looking for the same-sounding person, Richard McDonald (one of two brothers who had a hand in founding "McDonald's").
You marked all your June 14th edits as 'minor'. The Minor editing box is reserved for edits that do not alter the meaning of an article, like correcting grammar or spelling mistakes, but this June 14th edit basically re-wrote the article and is not minor and this June 14th edit added a completely new External Link and is not minor.
You added a "POV tag" {{POV|date=May 2011} to the article. I am not sure why you added this tag to the article when it was extensively re-written for the move into mainspace and you have edited it extensively since then.
You added a 'quotes' section and that section is unreferenced.
You removed the picture of MacDonald which is featured as part of the article's "Did You Know?" nomination.
I was looking through the references...the one reference of 'ref name= "Richard MacDonald" from Sculpture Review is missing a page # and it really needs that information to be truly verifiable. If you know the page-number, please add it to that reference.

I have edited the article: added the photo back, deleted the errant POV tag, added the Wiki-link "For the fast-food pioneer" tag back in and placed an 'unreferenced' tag on the quotes section. If you want to discuss any of my edits, please post on Talk:Richard MacDonald. The article is really looking much improved since I first saw your draft.
