- Pass or Fail:
- Prose
- "included with select editions of Windows Vista and later in January 2007" Meaning is unclear here. I think you mean "included with Windows Vista in January 2007 and select editions of later editions" ?
- Fixed by deleting "select" and "in January 2007". "included with Windows Vista and later" should be enough. —Codename Lisa (talk) 12:27, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- "Microsoft eDrive is a specification for storage devices to allow compliant storage devices to use its built-in encryption" Meaning is unclear; by "its" is BitLocker or eDrive being referred to?
- Fixed by a full rewording and update. —Codename Lisa (talk) 12:27, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- "encrypting other volumes could be achieved through an included command-line tool" Nice to have a link to "command line tool", but what was the name of the tool?
- Fixed by a rewording. —Codename Lisa (talk) 13:01, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- MOS
- "core edition of Windows 8.1 include device encryption" No need for bold text here, per MOS:BOLD
- Endorsed by MOS. MOS:BOLD endorses boldface for the following case:
'To follow the "principle of least astonishment" after following a redirect, for terms in the first couple of paragraphs of an article, or at the beginning of a section of an article, which are the subjects of redirects to the article or section (e.g. sub-topics of the article's topic, rather than the synonyms as already boldfaced per the above)'
In this case, device encryption redirects there. —Codename Lisa (talk) 13:01, 12 December 2016 (UTC)- You're quite right. I am astonished though. Hawkeye7 (talk) 19:52, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- Endorsed by MOS. MOS:BOLD endorses boldface for the following case:
- Sourcing
- Three dot point paragraphs in "Encryption modes" need references (probably 23)
- As of Revision 754399865, the source for these bullet points is #25. —Codename Lisa (talk) 13:23, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- Last point in "Encryption modes" needs a reference
- 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 7th paragraphs in "Operation" section require references
Laste remaining action item. Hawkeye7 (talk) 00:24, 22 December 2016 (UTC)- Done —Codename Lisa (talk) 13:02, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
- 3rd and 4th paragraphs in "Security concerns" section require references
- References
- 21 doesn't go to the right place
- Fixed. The source was revived using Web Archive. —Codename Lisa (talk) 13:34, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- 42 is broken
- Fixed. The source was revived using Web Archive. —Codename Lisa (talk) 13:34, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- Second external link is broken
- Nothing to fix. Must have been a momentary server down time. —Codename Lisa (talk) 13:34, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
Placing on hold. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:19, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
