Well-written:

1a "Color" is used here and there in an article otherwise written in British English. Per WP:LQ, place punctuation outside of quotes. 1b Some repetition in lede. In first sentence, a "photo" becomes a "picture"- why not a "photograph" becomes a "meme"? The black-blue vs. white-gold explanation is repeated in first and second paras.

• Done

Verifiable with no original research

2a Thoroughly referenced, to generally fine sources. 2b No mention of a US Senator Christopher Murphy in cited MTV ref. The sentence about Knox and its reference in Scientific explanations should be moved after Conway and Neitz analysis, because the Knox reference doesn't support the first sentence of Scientific explanations section.

• Found sources for Chris Murphy's tweet, but removed per WP:DUE.

2c. Surprisingly free of OR 2d. Checks free of copyvios.

Broad in its coverage:

3a. Fairly broad coverage. Covers the history/meme/science aspects. 3b. Llamas seem a bit off-topic at first, but they're explained more later

Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.

4. I'm a little peeved the intro declares it's black and blue when clearly there's no black in that dress ;) But, whatever. Perhaps add "humorously" to the existential crisis bit in the Initial spread section. In Overnight popularity, it should also be noted the "Politicians, government agencies" comments were tongue-in-cheek. The beamled ref in Scientific explanations is a store's promotional website, and the point it's supporting isn't entirely relevant, so you can just delete that.

• Done

Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.

5. Aside from anon incompetence/petty vandalism, no edit wars affecting stability.

Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio

6. Images are free, with one attributed fair use. @Ribbet32: issues addressed. feminist 10:00, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
