Infobox

The image of the "Overview of the WNS architecture" needs an alt image description; please add one

Lead

Remember: Anything that is mentioned in the lead needs to be mentioned in the article; the facts about "it was first supported on Windows 8 and subsequently on Windows Phone 8.1 upon its release." is cited wonderfully here, but it needs to be brought up in the article as well
Same with Reference #2 please

Technical details

Design and compatibility

No source for the "The service changes are expected to be released alongside an anniversary update to Windows 10." statement

Architecture

Great work; nothing to add!

References

The "Reflist" parameters should be changed to "Reflist|30em"; please do this to prevent extra space in this section
Overlinking issues:

Reference #2 – Unlink "Microsoft" please
Reference #3 – Unlink "Microsoft" please
Reference #8 – Unlink "Microsoft" please

End of GA Review:

Short and sweet: a good and quick read! Great work! The article will be placed on hold for seven days to allow for any changes to be made. If you have a question for me regarding this review, feel free to @PING me and I'll respond and I'm sure I will respond swiftly. Thanks! Cheers, Carbrera (talk) 21:41, 13 June 2016 (UTC).Reply

Hi Carbrera - I've had a go at fixing the issues you've identified - any further feedback would be welcome! Mike1901 (talk) 21:58, 13 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your quick response; quick's the wrong word–more like immediate (a whopping 17 minutes!) I have passed the article now and appreciate your improvements. Cheers, Carbrera (talk) 03:29, 14 June 2016 (UTC).Reply
