The last 4 sentence of section #1 Overview appears to need editing. At the moment they are as follows:
At a minimum the first should start "A few" and "few" deleted from the second but a more radical edit may be preferable.
Section # 2 History includes a chart "Release years of instant messengers" which lists 13 IMs but doesn't include some of the 50+ active IMs at https://allinone.im/messenger and https://www.lifewire.com/once-popular-old-instant-messaging-services-3486135 or all those mentioned in the article. Though section 8.3 has "Closed services and such with unclear activity" it would be useful to have a table including at least all IMs mentioned in the article with the years they were released, and closed where that's the case.

There is an RfC at WP:RSN on reliability of 9to5Google as a source.[1] Only 3 opinions have been given in about 19 days. More would be appreciated. -- Yae4 (talk) 15:30, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
