Yellow stickers on bread

  • Reviewed: The Redfield Hoard
  • Comment: Still working on it. Note, they are universally known as "yellow stickers" but I added "discount" in the hook for clarity.

Created by Philafrenzy (talk) and Edwardx (talk). Nominated by Philafrenzy (talk) at 21:42, 7 July 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Yellow sticker; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Reviewing... New enough, long enough, image free and clear, hook interesting and in article followed by citation to reference containing hook. QPQ required. Will complete when finished working on it. FYI.. I saw the barriers set up recently. Adding "discount" in the link is a good idea. Whispyhistory (talk) 07:51, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. I have also seen the barriers. I was surprised. Wish I had taken a photo. Will look out but they don't use them where I generally shop. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:12, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Philafrenzy, it is over a week since the original review and the request for a QPQ, and one week is the grace period you have after such a reminder. Please supply one right away if you wish to continue the nomination. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:23, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

@Whispyhistory: QPQ done. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:25, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

... Thank you. QPQ provided, no copyvio issues. Hook says some supermarkets, article cites only Tesco. Inline reference also cites only Tesco. ALT1 is 151 characters. Did you deliberately wish to call Aldi's discount sticker a red yellow sticker? The image is free and clear. Otherwise nice work.Whispyhistory (talk) 03:59, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

ALT2 ... that a British supermarket uses barriers to prevent shoppers grabbing food with yellow discount stickers out of the hands of staff? Other points also dealt with. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:50, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

... ALT2 is in the article with an inline citation to a reference containing the hook. Other issues sorted. Thank you. Whispyhistory (talk) 03:06, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
