My attention was drawn off-wiki to this broken prose in the Market share section:

XP still has a double-digit market share in a few countries, such as Armenia at over 50%,[168][169][170][171] at 57%, where Windows 7 was highest ranked,

and after finding where the 57% was originally inserted (this 2020 edit) and noting that the sentence trails off in information about 2019 and that "under the hood" the referencing is stuck in 2021–22, I eventually made this pair of edits truncating the passage and making explicit that it refers to 2021; and tagging the section as needing an update. The 6 references relating to Armenia all had ref names, but none was reused, so I cut all but the first as superfluous. Most of them, including that one, go to StatCounter; they appear to differ in the period they cover, but all periods are 2021 or earlier, and when I click on the Wayback links (between Wayback outages) I find Wayback is actually serving an archive of the search page, not the specific results. It is possible that someone with JavaScript installed can get to the intended result, so I note this here. But even then, this data is not only excessively about one country, it's badly out of date. I'm surprised the over-focus on Armenia, the undefined time reference of "still", and the clumsy English of "Windows XP got highest ranked for the longest time" weren't flagged at the GAR in 2022. I have not looked at any other sections, but this passage was the same on April 16, 2022, the day before the GAR, as I found it today. (Courtesy ping to Whiteguru.)

Yes, someone should add a few citations if/when the mention is added to the article. KMaster888 (talk) 19:41, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change "One Asian country, Armenia still has very high Windows XP use at 75% use (while elsewhere, including in Africa, have by now under 1% use).[7]"

to

"One Asian country, Armenia, still has very high Windows XP use at 75% use (while elsewhere, including in Africa, have by now under 1% use).[7]

Perhaps linking the Armenia page to the word "Armenia". Override8188 (talk) 02:03, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
