Hi @user:23W. I figured you probably weren't logged-in over Christmas, so I wanted to check-in and make sure this was still on your radar. CorporateM (Talk) 19:43, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

@CorporateM: Apologies for the wait. I'll try getting to this before the end of the week. 23W 09:34, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

@CorporateM: Ugh, sorry for the wait—again. It probably wasn't a good idea for me to take these up during these busy times. I'll have something up soon. 23W 23:26, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

No problem. Thanks for reviewing! CorporateM (Talk) 23:29, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Comments

• Gave a simple copy edit myself; click here to see the changes.
  • I also added a slew of wikilinks to the lead, which should help the layperson. Most of these are already present in the body, so it makes sense to introduce them here.
• Although it was brought up in the previous review that the infobox required citations after each cell, it's probably overkill here. You could at least remove the references for information already present in the body of the article.

• Searching through some of the lesser-known sources, they seem to meet WP:SOURCE standards of all having editorial oversight and being cited in other reliable third-party sources (used mainly Google News to search up articles containing the name of the source excluding the domain of said source).
• This may be out of scope, but in the "Software" section, the references that are placed mid-sentence without any punctuation should probably be bundled for readability. I've attempted this in the code below; you would copy it from where the "Software" section begins to the end of the first paragraph:

Otherwise, good work. All problems brought up in the last review seem to be addressed. Putting on hold for 14 days. 23W 20:58, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
