Article itself is okay: long enough, sourced, recent fivefold expansion, didnt notice any copyvio issues. QPQ done. There is an issue with hook wording though, as it is currently a case of WP:SYNTH. It is giving reader an impression that this disparaging reference came into use in relation to Rhodesia adopting the insignia, but from what I saw in source, the reference came into use much earlier in British South Africa Company period, and for all we know could have been practically forgotten by the time it was adopted for Rhodesian military insignias. Solution should be fairly simple rewording, as all that needs to be fixed is making it clear that "lion with the toothpick" reference actually preceded Rhodesian military adoption of the emblem.--Staberinde (talk) 20:58, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
