Patched ref issues (diff). Any other glaring problems before I start on the prose? --Nathan2055^{talk - contribs} 18:52, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No. TBran dl ey 19:54, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree. For a start:

The are a lot of short paragraphs, mostly three sentences long; and single paragraph sections /subsections.
There are "direct quotations" with no citations, for example: two in History, the first paragraph in Development, several in Release channels and updates, one in Retina screen support, two in Usage,
Ref 226 is using wikipedia as a reference.
Some of the references are blogs, which brings into question as to whether they are WP:RS, arguably some are as they are official company blogs, but are all of them reliable?
Its already stated above that there are references with missing published, some of them have named authors and those are missing as well, for example 17, 40, 46, etc.
