This article seems to not meet the first criterion of the B-class criteria, so I have downgraded it to C-class until it is suitably referenced. There are a large amount of {{citation needed}} tags in the section GNOME § Release cycle, which is contradictory to a claim that the article is suitably referenced: {{cn}} tags are used when a part of an article is not suitably referenced. ozmoozmo@enwiki (talk:contribs) 04:57, 19 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

This article is chock-full with puffery and promotional language. I will add a template, but this clearly needs fixing if this article is going to be relisted as a GA. --ABx11 (she/they | formerly TheAuroraBorealis | In solidarity) 22:29, 9 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

I have removed some of the more obvious puffery. Tauin (talk) 17:07, 22 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
