80 Proof or 100 Proof

The bottle says 100 proof, yet the intro paragraph to this wiki says 80 proof. RichBryan (talk) 13:26, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Here is another uncited piece of info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_McQuesten Yukon Jack, was named after Jack McQuesten. Leroy Napoleon "Jack" McQuesten (1836–1909) was a pioneer in Alaska and Yukon as an explorer, trader, and prospector and became known as the "Father of the Yukon." Other nicknames included "Yukon Jack," "Captain Jack," "Golden Rule McQuesten," and "Father of Alaska." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.67.245.243 (talk) 06:47, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"The honey contained within the alcohol holds the germ killing properties of the alcohol on the affected area of the throat long enough for it to take action." Really? Or should this be changed to "Some believe..." Regardless, I'm trying it this winter! Devyces 01:32, 6 September 2006 (UTC) --don't know about this one, but it sure tastes good.[reply]

what has to be done to make this article not a stub? and also do you think its worthy of being a full article?Fungisbug 01:45, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian "whisky" has no "E" in it, unlike American "whiskey" and should be edited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.163.210.192 (talk) 10:07, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup

About 80% of the information on the article came straight from an advertising dictionary. About 80% of the posts on the talk page did to. Talk pages are for discussion of the article, NOT discussion of the topic. Also, all information must be strictly factual from a strictly neutral point of view. Whatever advertiser went nuts with this page just lost Yukon Jack any and all money I would ever spend on it. Shame, since it's not that bad. Ftc08 (talk) 04:10, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup 2020

An enthusiastic student editor added a lot of content that does not belong in the article. I deleted much of it. David notMD (talk) 03:51, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your input, it would be helpful if you could inform me on why different parts were removed so I can improve on my future article writing! 11Bush (talk) 02:46, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The largest problem was going off topic. The article is about a liqueur. There is a referenced statement that it was named after Jack McQuesten, who was also known as "Yukon Jack." That is sufficient. All the descriptions of Jack's life or the history of alcohol use and prohibition in the Yukon had no part in this article, Especially as the origin of the product dates to the 1970s. Cocktail recipes did not belong in the article. References do not need to be repeated in a bibliography. David notMD (talk) 10:48, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Early history section should be deleted, as it has no connection to a liqueur created in the 1970s. David notMD (talk) 14:50, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
