I am going to give this article a Pass because it is, quite simply, a good article. It is well written, complete, neutral, well-sourced, well-organized, and all the images are okay. The main criticism I have, which is not sufficient to put the article on hold, is that the lead is too long. I would suggest that the paragraph starting "Sponges use various materials…" can be simplified (I find it hard to read because of the density of information), and the following paragraph could be omitted from the lead.
This is actually very close to an FA-quality article, I believe. The main thing needed, as I see it, is that it would have to be shortened a bit, probably by moving some of the less essential material into subarticles. Looie496 (talk) 22:38, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
