• There are 2 links that point back to the article. These will confuse readers—fix or remove them.
• The lead should serve as the overview of the article—there should not be a second one. Combine the two or remove the second.
• Find archives or replacements for the marked dead links and for ref 158 (that redirects to the main page, which is not good).
• Most, if not all, ref dates are ISO style. Double-check that they all are, for consistency.
• Ref 32 simply says "Cannot connect to database: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 65", and ref 62 does not match the old content, either. I suggest you audit external links throughout the article. (added on 04:24, 17 November 2009 (UTC))
• "A miniconnector(=>Micro connector)"→which is it? (added on 04:37, 17 November 2009 (UTC))

I have corrected links that point back to the article, have removed overview section and moved information to other sections in the article, I believe that all of the reference links are now correct, have changed all reference dates to ISO style, and have corrected several statements in regards to the connection names.--GrandDrake (talk) 06:55, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Refs 86 and 92 still need fixing. 86 goes to a Sharp sitemap, and 92 goes to a general Panasonic support page. The digital-cp.com ones also time out—which could just be a server problem—but at least ref 63 (which is exactly the same as 69, by the way) works. --an odd name 08:37, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Went through and fixed or replaced many references and I believe that all references now work, made various corrections, and made sure that all references use ISO style dates. Also the term used is Mini connector for the Type C connector and Micro connector for the Type D connector and I have corrected those terms throughout the article. --GrandDrake (talk) 23:12, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Struck oppose and issues. A few more points:

• "The previous maximum pixel clock rate HDMI interface was 165 MHz, which was sufficient for supporting 1080p and WUXGA (1920×1200) at 60 Hz."—should "previous" be "original"?
• Are you sure Mini and Micro should be capitalized? Who capitalizes the terms? (HDMI.org doesn't; see e.g. ref 1: "New mini connector: ...")

I expect to stay neutral in any case. --an odd name 03:20, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Changed the wording of the statement on maximum pixel clock rate for clarity. As for the Mini connector the HDMI website has not always been consistent with capitalizing it but in recent articles I have seen it capitalized. This can be seen in the HDMI 1.4 FAQ, the HDMI 1.4 press release, and the HDMI article on the Micro connector. As for the Micro connector all the articles on the HDMI website I have seen capitalize it. --GrandDrake (talk) 06:05, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Oppose per criteria 1c and 2a, due to my second issue and because so many links redirect to the main HDMI website that I can't tell whether the text is lifted or not. For example, the first sentence of Cable length is slightly different from the source material, but still too close. Audit prose and, again, external links throughout. --an odd name 05:22, 17 November 2009 (UTC) Struck overview issue. --an odd name 08:27, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

I have added links to HDMI Specification 1.3a and have changed the wording in the statement on HDMI cable length. --GrandDrake (talk) 06:55, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
