Improved to Good Article status by David Eppstein (talk). Self-nominated at 18:14, 18 April 2022 (UTC).

• Article has achieved Good Article status. No issues of copyvio or plagiarism. All sources appear reliable. QPQ is done. Hooks are interesting and sourced. Are there any other images you would like to include in the nomination? There are some cool ones in commons, but I guess new hooks would have to be created to use some of them.

  • I added three more for some of the other hooks. Not sure the mosaic one works at DYK thumbnail size though. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:02, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
    • You are right, the mosaic wouldn't work. Shame about that. The others look good. Thriley (talk) 17:02, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
      • Promoter comment: taking the recycling logo because I can image lots of people will be trying to work it out and surprised to learn because that logo is so commonplace. Kingsif (talk) 10:41, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
