each time it is used, but it displays ads once during installation, performing once an ad for another software. If this distinction is not worthy of mentioning, I apologize. I've edited the section, now titled "Adware", to present what the bundled installer does in details, with links to official documentation. Same information (more in details, as how does AVG Security Toolbar works would be OT and out of the scope of this article about PeaZip) is provided on the official domain in the

mentions (e.g. from 7-Zip, Schneier, Collet, Mahoney) due the fact comes from authorities in the field acknowledging a specific feature, so for those notes being succinct is functional to their intended scope. It was my bad to let unchecked the initial sources for so many years, resulting in many dead links and reflecting the poor understandings of Wiki I had back then, so I'm only trying to clean the clutter and let to the community a better page to start with.

in English language, but without omitting meaningful and qualified sources in other languages, as in "Citing sources" guidelines, and not submitted links to any of my original works or program's descriptions, only ones written by independent editor and reviewers. Since this is the first time I publish a "References" section I'll be glad to know if the way I chose and published the reference sources is acceptable, and where should it be improved.
80: 53: 148: 224: 22: 342:. This is a bit POV-pushy. Considering these attempts to soften the adware section are coming from an editor with rather exclusive contributions to PeaZip's article and articles related to file archiving, (all in regard to PeaZip itself, I should add) I think it's safe to assume this account belongs to the software's developer. That's all fine and well, but please consider 184: 575:
linked Schneier on Security crediting PeaZip as Open Source file archiver supporting Blowfish and Twofish encryption algorithms - Schneier is the author of both algorithms and his own Schneier on Security is one of most authoritative sources for cryptography, encryption software, and security related

About notability and verifiability, with few exceptions I have not contributed much to the page after initial writing (with a different user name I no longer use due the spam I received back then) so I see now many of the external links to third party articles and reviews are now obsolete or missing,

Many formats use zip container to embed data, but often adds specialized fields or files (i.e. manifests), that would need to be updated accordingly to format specifications if the file is edited - which is out of the scope for a generic file archiver. Those files are consequently read-only supported

Unreferenced tag status: as soon as I noticed "unreferenced" tag I tried to publish links to independent, meaningful and verifiable sources about challangeable content in PeaZip article, as requested by "Citing sources" guidelines. Criteria: since this is English Knowledge I gave priority to sources

I'm the author of the software and as you can see from the user name in "View history" I routinely update the page with newer releases and other information. I used the "software advertising" term instead of "adware" or "advertising-supported software" as the application does not runs ads by itself

Thank you for the feedback and the assistance. I'm not very familiar with editing Knowledge and I'm making practice in real time following the guidelines you suggests. I've removed the probably most redundant links, mostly reviews, to avoid citation bombing issue you mentioned. I've let some short

What I'm going to do now: if I correctly interpreted Knowledge guidelines for the tags you added, I'll edit the page adding reference links to third party sources of information similarly to what I did back in 2008 when the page received the unreferenced tag status, discussed at the top of this

I've linked some articles (comparatives and reviews) written by professional tech writers on well established tech magazines over the years, those sources are purely meant to document the persistence and relevance of the software on specialized media, popular third party sources which are not

I've started to clear redundant and dead links (some were indeed just moved, as the one on linux.com and 7-zip.org), and to remove least significant ones, no offense intended to reviewers which took time to write about the software, but RS guidelines are clear.

Also about verifiability, it is an Open Source software so features are both easily verifiable not only from the software itself, but can also be verified from sources' scrutiny, which is one of the main points in releasing software projects as Open
