I'll take this review. On first look, I see very few issues needing attention. One suggestion to start out - I think the two sentences on computational complexity might work better under "Properties" than as a single-line section. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:32, 7 August 2022 (UTC)


 * From my perspective (someone with a decent math background but not much graph theory), Infinitely many snarks are known to exist could mean "we know of infinite snarks already" as well as the intended meaning of "Our theorems prove that there's an infinite number of snarks". Might be worth rewording.
 * The lede could use an extra sentence or three - it doesn't mention anything from the history and conjecture sections.
 * Tait's name is given with middle name in one location, and without in another.
 * Consider linking the subsequent proof of the four-color theorem to Four color theorem
 * also demonstrates that all snarks are non-planar. needs a source
 * Add link to Commons category

Moved complexity into properties, removed "are known to" in the part about infinitely many snarks to make the wording there more direct; added a little more to lead. Used Tait's middle initial rather than the full name or omitting the initial. Linked 4-color proof. Added a source that explicitly connects the Appel–Haken proof to the nonexistence of planar snarks.

 * Looks great! Happy to pass now. Should you take this to DYK, please indulge my inner 12-year-old and include "arbitrarily large girth" in the hook ;) Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:16, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
