I see that in the first paragraph, Gmail is described as a free e-mail service. This is only partially correct. Users with less than 15gb of e-mails can use it free, but people who need more than 15gb worth of e-mails have to pay. Should the word "free" be removed or updated to more accurately describe the service? 67.185.163.88 ( talk) 00:10, 5 October 2022 (UTC) reply

No, it is a free service and the storage limitations are spelled out in the lede and subsequent sections. - Ahunt ( talk) 00:33, 5 October 2022 (UTC) reply

The screenshot of Gmail website is too small to make out the details well. I suggest we upscale the image a slight bit so the text can be read. This will still keep the Non-free rationale as the image loses its purpose at this scale. Roost ^T _C(please ping me when replying) 11:05, 25 November 2022 (UTC) reply

The main issue is that there is a bot that seems to like reducing any oversized "fair use" images, so you may just end up back where you started. - Ahunt ( talk) 14:41, 25 November 2022 (UTC) reply

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) 15:27, 27 December 2022 (UTC) reply
