• Will do. AryKun (talk) 15:22, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
• Sorry for the delay in reviewing this.
• I have removed duplinks and linked several terms I thought might benefit from linking; feel free to discuss.
• "They appear in a...with copyright" the two clauses aren't related to each other, just split this into two sentences.
• "Lastly, a meme's...the Internet itself" not exactly clear on what this sentence is trying to say.
• "emoticon ":-)" introduced" should be "emoticon ":-)", introduced"
• "LOLcats" is inconsistently capitalized.
• doujin should be in a lang template.
• "such as rickrolling" Our article on the meme capitalizes Rickrolling.
• "additional vessels for" Vessel? Medium would be a better word.
• "was damaged by...he Zodiac Killer" Might wanna clarify that this was due to the general implication of him being creepy, not because anyone actually though he ws the Zodiac Killer.
• "Gabrielle et al." Mention who she is (as in profession, type of scientist, etc)
• Add inflation templates for the amounts in "Non-fungible tokens".
• Earwig is clear.
• References seem to be to reliable sources and correctly formatted.
• Most of the journal and book references need cites to specific pages; pages ranges that include 30 or 40 pages are way too large.
• I don't think that "— What does dank meme mean?" should be part of the Dictionary.com ref title.
• Spotchecks: All checked sources verify all claims made.

• Images are correctly licensed and used, and illustrate the article well.
• The first sentence in "Modern memes" is slightly sandwiched, move the deep-fried meme a couple lines lower.
• That's all I have. AryKun (talk) 15:55, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

• AryKun Thanks for the feedback, I've tried my best to address your points. GenericWikiUser1 (talk) 04:38, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

  The page ranges are still too large for most journal refs, they should be 2 or 3 pages at most. A lot of them have over a dozen pages citing a single sentence in the article. If any of them really have ranges that large, use sfn templates to cite each individual claim instead. AryKun (talk) 11:50, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

  AryKun The page numbers should all be short enough now, let me know if I missed any! GenericWikiUser1 (talk) 12:32, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

  All right, they're all good, will pass the article now. AryKun (talk) 14:42, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
