Association[edit]

Goatse security is associated with the Gay Nigger Association of America. It is in the ref in the infobox. Wikipedia is not censored. It is a valid edit and you are breaking policy. --96.237.21.141 (talk) 19:38, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I checked the inline ref next to GNAA; it makes no reference to the term. Please be more specific and add an inline citation to support the change; otherwise, it appears very much to be vandalism. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 19:41, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

http://security.goatse.fr/CTRL+F gnaa. It's on the copyright notice on the footer:

The new source added clearly states the affiliation between goatse security and the GNAA. Please use google translate if you are unable to read the original language. riffic (talk) 21:24, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Seems fine now that it's properly cited; thanks for finding some appropriate references. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 21:26, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Review[edit]

Review was requested at Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing/Assessment by Michaeldsuarez (talk · contribs). The material is well referenced. Bulk of the article is about the ATT/iPad leak - good information there. Other details in the article about GS are thin. Missing information could be because the ATT/iPad leak is solely what makes GS notable at this point. In which case it may be difficult to improve the article. If so, editors might consider changing the article subject to ATT/iPad leak. --Kvng (talk) 22:03, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I agree. It's now extremely difficult to improve the article, and Goatse Security's exploits outside the AT&T leak haven't receive much attention from the media. Perhaps the article should be renamed and moved. Any suggestions for a descriptive yet concise article name? I'm not sure what to call the event. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 16:58, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Despite my comments above, I do not support making structural changes at this time. All of this is is still actively developing and its going to be difficult to do the right thing until time gives us some perspective on it. Wikipedia is not a news source. --Kvng (talk) 17:07, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Massive rewrite[edit]

Due to recent events, IRC leaks, and revelations, the article isn't maintainable in its current form. As creator and primary author for this article, I feel that it's my responsibility to keep the article accurate and up-to-date. Usually, new information is added to the bottom, but due to revelations about events prior to June 9, 2010, I must rewrite the article from the top down, and it's more convenient in my point of view to simply restart the article from scratch. I've reverted the article to "start" quality and will begin soon. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 17:42, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
