... that GrapheneOS (logo pictured) is a free and open-source operating system for selected Google Pixel smartphones, which was recommended by Edward Snowden? Source: "GrapheneOS is an AOSP (Android Open Source Project)", "GrapheneOS can only be installed on certain smartphones from the Google Pixel range." "There is recognition on Twitter by Edward Snowden : "If I configured a smartphone today, I would use GrapheneOS from Daniel Micay as the basic operating system."" [1]

Comment: Quotes for the hook are translations from German

Created by Yae4 (talk). Self-nominated at 15:35, 16 December 2019 (UTC).[reply]

Moved to mainspace on 16 December and nominated straight away. Article is long enough, stable, well written and referenced. Earwig's tool doesn't show any problems (many of the key sources are in German, so close paraphrasing is difficult to detect automatically, but a spotcheck shows no problems; AGF on Hungarian/Czech/Turkish sources). Hook is long enough, referenced, and certainly catchy. Image is used in the article, appropriate, and correctly licensed. Article author has no prior DYK noms, so no QPQ is required. In conclusion, good to go. Constantine ✍ 20:14, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Some new items to include ?

I am no English native speaker, so I shall avoid modifying the page. I would suggest adding one paragraph about the duress PIN, which is a major functionality, and also mention the controversy in France. Eirikr70 (talk) 19:40, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Special:Diff/1324505725

Recently a large edit (Special:Diff/1324505725) was made by User:Xtreix. While while large (mass) edits are allowed, this edit goes against past consensus for the GrapheneOS article and possibly consensus for Android based OS's/ROMs (The short description in Wikipedia's search for me referred to GrapheneOS as a Linux distribution and the lead was changed to "compatible with Android applications" which may go against editor consensus for Android OS's/ROMs).

I'm against any changes that are already consensus based, unless new sources can be provided that show that a change is worthwhile (re-discussing old consensus without a notable reason doesn't seem productive to me).
I'm also against any of these changes in bulk again, as this can make it harder to vet, especially considering that multiple of the changes in Special:Diff/1324505725 were consensus-breaking and if it went unchecked, could have taken much longer to have been caught. ~2025-37599-55 (talk) 01:44, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
