ALT0 // 
ALT1⇒⇒ Oh neat, Elliot321, I just heard about these the other day for the first time! (Barely) long enough (1,524 characters), new enough (Jan 18), neutral, suitably cited, only copyvio ping appears to be from a site that scraped Wikipedia and not the other way around so all good there. ALT0 is short enough, reffed to and in refs 3 & 4. ALT1 is supported by ref 2 but not spelled out adequately in the article (article doesn't mention that developers had to change anything to implement snowflakes). Both hooks short enough; I definitely prefer ALT0 anyway as the more hooky and interesting of the two. QPQ done, no image. ALT0 good to go and preferred, ALT1 still needs work. Thank you! —Collint c 19:13, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. I'm good with just using ALT0. Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 19:18, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Graphic issues
[edit]The graphic showing "Components of a snowflake identifier in binary" differs from its source (where sequence and worker ID are swapped, and more annotations exist), and also does not actually show components in binary, given the fact each box seems to represent 2 bits. --2.204.112.236 (talk) 10:20, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
