  • Check the "External links" part of the GA toolbox. Some of the links are dead or are linking to completely different things.
    • You will have to check each reference to see if they still link to the thing you want.
  • "Improvements were also made to IntelliMirror features such as Offline Files, Roaming user profiles and Folder redirection." [citation needed]

  • Second paragraph of UI needs references.
  • File:RoyaleXP2.PNG's caption should also include that the menu shown is the Royale theme.

  • Other features need a reference for each point
  • What is IME (expand abbreviation)?

  • Removed features section is unreferenced.
  • ", and in boxed copies." Remove comma.

  • "SP2 added new functionality to Windows XP, such as WPA encryption compatibility and improved Wi-Fi support (with a wizard utility), a pop-up ad blocker for Internet Explorer 6, and partial Bluetooth support." [citation needed]
    • What improvements did the Wi-fi support have?
  • Features of SP3 fit better in prose, and they also need references.
  • Link logical processor, and there's no need to go into detail what it is

  • Avoid starting sentences with the same words/phrase.
  • Avoid having too many references at a time.
  • "According to web analytics data" repeats three times in Market share section. Get rid of it or reword it.
 Done - I've removed the latter two paragraphs, as they don't really add any information not provided elsewhere. ƒirefly ( t · c · who? ) 09:47, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • References need various things that is needed to be completed. For example, access dates, publishers, dates, authors, etc.
  • Images are copyrighted, but there are no realistic alternatives.

Plenty of things to fix before it becomes a GA. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 05:03, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
