Clear at 100px: - I'm concerned that, being purely a colour-based infographic, it's not quite accessible.

QPQ: - Feel free to correct me if I'm misjudging, but it doesn't seem like you did a complete review—if the nomination was closed when you put the DYKno symbol, that would have been one thing, but once IAR was invoked and cleared, a full review would be needed to count as a QPQ.
Overall: @Elli: Nice work! I'm approving ALTs 0 and 1, with a preference for ALT0—ALT2 is too reliant on the image to be interesting, and the image is not good to go. We'll be good to go once the QPQ situation is cleared up one way or another. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 18:30, 24 November 2021 (UTC) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 18:30, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

- @Theleekycauldron: thanks -- if that doesn't count as QPQ, then I'll use Template:Did you know nominations/Road 96 (video game). ALT0 is perfectly fine with me ofc. Elli (talk | contribs) 00:06, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
  - good to go with ALT0! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 20:44, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
