102: 81: 449: 50: 276:. A bunch of these references discuss contextual information (security issues with jailbreaking, reasons why people might want to jailbreak their devices, recommended software to install after jailbreaking, etc.), but I'm not sure how much of that is appropriate to include in this article, since it's information general to jailbreaking instead of specific to these tools. 21: 182: 245:
and independent sources sometimes describe the newer tools as Greenpois0n Absinthe and sometimes just Absinthe. These tools are all distributed on the same website by the same people; overall, it seems more useful to describe them in the same article instead of in two articles. I welcome comments and

I figured that including too many references was better for the article than including too few, so I erred on the side of including a bunch of references, but they directly address the subject and are not identical. I believe including Greenpois0n Absinthe makes sense; see my reasoning in my initial

along with the addition of sub-product, which is an attempt to blast it with a large number of references in a hope to avoid deletion by making it seem more notable. Do you have any comments on the cited references? I think that they're mostly routine things, some are retweets like "via Wired" and

Just to clarify, the VentureBeat article is about Absinthe, which is called Greenpois0n Absinthe in other articles. The fake tools discussed in the Ars Technica article were efforts to trick people waiting for the release of the actual Greenpois0n tool - note that the article discusses the SHAtter

says "'Significant coverage' means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material." I did not have to do original research to

also says "If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources should be cited to establish notability." It has multiple independent sources: Ars Technica, CNet, Engadget, Forbes, International Business Times, The Inquirer, PCMag, PCWorld/NetworkWorld, ReadWriteWeb,

If you'd like to comment with a list of instances where the references don't properly support the text (or similar issues), I'll see if I can suggest better references. I'm a little puzzled though about bringing up this bombardment concern after the draft was moved to the article, instead of
468:, which Greenpois0n tools install, but the tools are mostly outdated, so I don't really benefit from a better article about them. I also chose to not mention Cydia in the draft to avoid impressions of bias. Note that this article is currently 464:
I'd like to ask for review of my proposed draft below, since I believe it's at least better than the current state of the article. I have a minor COI on this - I work for the company that makes
233:. Other editors had added material on Absinthe to this article a few months ago, but I removed their additions due to not being on the same subject as the existing article - see 387:
Chronic Dev announced via twitter... this is a joke??? This subject, if anything, is a mention in somewhere else. I don't find notability worthy of its own wikipedia page.

It distorts the sense of notability by tacking on a bunch of (highcrediblenames).com when the mentions are actually quite trivial in many of the sources.

Updated based on draft. @Cantaloupe2 or anyone else: feel free to revert if you feel this is worse than it used to be. (But it's much better source-wise)
