I will be reviewing this over the next day or so. - Aoidh (talk) 01:45, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

The article requires a substantial amount of work before it would be up to GA standards. I only checked 30 of the 93 references and a substantial portion of those references do not support the statements that they are attached to, and there are unsourced statements that need references. I'll share below what I had written down so far for specific examples of issues:

General

 * There's quite a few duplicate wikilinks which per MOS:LINKONCE should be removed.

Lede

 * The sentence K-Meleon was one of the first projects to use Gecko outside of Mozilla's original internet suite. doesn't appear to be substantiated by any of the sources in the article.
 * The popularity of K-Meleon seems to be unsourced within the article, see the comment in the Customization section below.

History

 * Christophe Thibault started the K-Meleon project in the early 2000s is unsourced. While the first sentence in the development section says 0.1 was released in 2000, that doesn't verify that work on the project started at that time.
 * Neither Reference 4 [McCracken, Harry (March 2007)] or reference 5 [DeVault, Drew (March 18, 2020)] appear to say anything about the size of websites.
 * Reference 5 doesn't appear to verify anything in the preceding sentence.
 * I found clippings of Reference 7 (D1, D4) but it doesn't verify the sentence it's attached to as it says nothing about using resources or blending into its environment.
 * The sentence about pronunciation is unsourced.

Development

 * The image caption in the development section says "K-Meleon 0.2 was a simple..." but should be "K-Meleon 0.2 is..." in the present tense per MOS:TENSE.
 * Reference 11 doesn't appear to support the sentence it's attached to, about K-Meleon being "the first project on Windows to separate the browser from other Mozilla Internet Suite applications"?
 * K-Meleon using win32 is unsourced.
 * Reference 15 does not support the claim that it was less resource-intensive than other browsers on Windows only that it has a "fast loading time" and does not say anything about Camino.
 * Reference 16 and 17 say that Firefox is similar to Galeon, K-Meleon and Chimera not that they were a direct influence on Mozilla.
 * Reference 19 does not support the claim that For a few years, Mozilla promoted other Gecko browsers including K-Meleon, and officially endorsed Camino.
 * Reference 20 does not support any of the statements preceeding it, which are otherwise unsourced.
 * Reference 21 [Jesdanun, Anick (June 16, 2002)] does not support the statement it is attached to.
 * Version 0.7 leveraged Mozilla's codebase to support Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface (NPAPI) plugins is unsourced.
 * Reference 25 (I'm guessing it's specifically this page) does not support the sentence it is attached to.
 * Reference 27 just links to the overall mailing list, I don't even begin to know what would verify the sentence it's attached to, it needs a more specific link.
 * For Reference 28, what makes this WP:BLOG a reliable source?
 * Reference 29 discusses Cyrillic text in pages and 30 [Pogson, Jeff (December 28, 2004)] discusses the browser itself being localized into Welsh, neither supports the sentence they are attached to.

Customization

 * Reference 85 doesn't appear to suport the statement that K-Meleon was popular with libraries, only that it was a potential good choice for that situation.

Please note that this is not an all-inclusive list for the Development section, for example, it only goes to reference 30. - Aoidh (talk) 03:49, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
