Criticism[edit]

The allegations in the Criticism section have been responded to by F-Droid and others, yet there is no mention of that. Also, that section references a single, non-independent source, which may or may not itself be reliable. The article has been tagged accordingly, feel free to improve. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.36.150.191 (talk) 13:15, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:PRIMARY, to tag or not to tag?[edit]

The following do not look WP:PRIMARY to me.

Ref 6 from AndroidCentral by Jerry Hildenbrand
Ref 7 from The Powerbase by "Tom Nardi: Tom is a Network Engineer with focus on GNU/Linux and open source software. He is a frequent submitter to "2600", and maintains a personal site of his projects and areas of research at: www.digifail.com ."
Ref 14 from Free Software Foundation. It is an interview of F-Droid's founder, but it is published by an independent organization.
Ref 17 published by Fosdem. It is a talk by an F-Droid developer, but it is published by an independent organization.
Ref 18, 19, 20, 21 published by Replicant (Free Software Foundation), independent organization.
Ref. 22 published by Guardian Project, independent organization.
Ref. 23, 24 published by FSFE, independent organization
Ref. 25, published by GNU, independent organization.

I could go on, but we evidently have different understandings of "primary" sources; I will untag. -- Yae4 (talk) 16:59, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll let others participate; I'll just clarify that I meant "primary or self-published" in my edit summary, not just primary. DFlhb (talk) 18:54, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
