Sources which were used for our failed Twitter verification attempt at the end of May. The sources for the 2nd attempt will be a smaller higher quality set without any publishers which aren't Twitter verified.

Note: these 10 news articles were chosen based on notability of the publisher and for directly covering the GrapheneOS project rather than it just being mentioned or a team member being asked to provide comments. Most don't have particularly accurate or good coverage of the project, but that wasn't the point of this selection.

Another note: the information about GrapheneOS on Wikipedia is highly inaccurate, but not in a way that's relevant to the verification request. For example, it wrongly portrays the project as being started in 2018/2019 when it was started in 2014 and is the direct continuation under new branding rather than a new project. Easily confirmed from the repository forks on GitHub and other sources. A project started in 2019 could not have a bunch of repository forks from 2015/2016...

Someone just let me know a couple hours ago that this Gist is being misrepresented by the consistently hostile Yae4 editor on Wikipedia who has a huge personal grudge against me and is the main editor of the GrapheneOS article on Wikipedia.

This list was created to apply for Twitter verification, not as a list of good articles about GrapheneOS. You can see it was created to reference from this tweet on June 13th:

https://twitter.com/GrapheneOS/status/1536489966498369543

Check the revision history and you can confirm that the warning about the sources mostly being inaccurate and not covering the project well has been here since before it was tweeted out after putting it together.

They linked to an archive of this where my response to their latest attacks on me and fabrications will not be visible, but I'm responding here nonetheless since I have no intention of ever using my Wikipedia account again due to the persistent harassment and malicious behavior by Yae4 which has not been dealt with by Wikipedia administrators in any way.
