I was working for quite some time on new Wikipedia article about 3.x generation of AmigaOS. After needed research, I provided basic facts with several references (including various Amiga magazines). Now, the article in question needs native English speaker for its final draft as my language skills are rather limited (I learned English wasting time here on AmigaWorld.net ).

Link to AmigaOS 3 article in my user space

Anyone can edit Wikipedia (even users without an account), feel free to correct/add/remove any informations in said article (applies to non-native English speakers too). Thanks for your help!

@Daedalus

And done There were a few minor spelling and grammar corrections, nothing too serious. I also changed the GB to GiB, since Wikipedia tends to prefer the binary units.

There may be things I missed, and I didn't do any fact checking, but hope it helps!

Nice article. English seems fine (read after Daedalus's edits) and from my fair understanding of the Amiga history I didn't see anything in there that stood out as incorrect.
