Blank edit requests

As the editor who twice requested protection on this talk page for continuous vandalism with the persistent blank edit requests, I'd like to request assistance in the matter in preparation for when the next wave of blank requests hits. I do not want to be the one who has to submit a request a third time, so in case I'm not available to remove the vandalism, I'd like to at least continue the pattern: after protection expires, if I'm not here for it, can someone please make the request for page protection for me after the 3rd straight blank request in 24 hours arrives? This would help the users like myself who watch AnomieBOT's SPERTable greatly. Thank you. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 04:13, 25 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

If I see multiple blank edit requests placed here I'll be happy to submit a request. DonIago (talk) 15:05, 25 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Semi-protected edit request on 14 August 2017

Change "firmwares" in the Industry reaction section to "firmware". Firmware is a mass noun, it doesn't have a plural form. 79.153.55.1 (talk) 02:54, 14 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Done Also thank god this isn't a blank request. We've been getting too many of those on this page lately. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 03:54, 14 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Per WP:RMCOMMENT: "Nomination already implies that the nominator supports the name change, and nominators should refrain from repeating this recommendation on a separate bulleted line." - Aoidh (talk) 17:08, 21 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Aoidh My initial move request was an explanation of a single line, this is not really a repetition I'd say. PhotographyEdits (talk) 18:53, 21 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose - The arguments in the previous discussion are very persuasive, specifically Steel and RedSlash's comments on the matter. The supposed "natural" title is awkward and hardly used in reliable sources. Yes, if you search exclusively for "Android rooting" in quotations you'll find uses, but remove the quotations and it very obviously becomes a minority in the results, which describe rooting in the context of Android, but do not call it "Android rooting" for the most part. As for consistency with iOS jailbreaking, even the lede of that article says that while they are sometimes compared to each other, jailbreaking and rooting are not the same process, therefore there is no issue of consistency between the two. - Aoidh (talk) 17:07, 21 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
    "jailbreaking and rooting are not the same process, therefore there is no issue of consistency between the two.". If they were the same, they would be contained in the article. They are comparable, which is what matters. PhotographyEdits (talk) 18:51, 21 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
    Per WP:CONSIST, "consistency does not control...Disambiguation." Wikipedia Policy does not support the argument that you are presenting; consistency does not apply to how different articles are disambiguated, even if they are otherwise similar articles (which these are not). - Aoidh (talk) 09:52, 22 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose as Android rooting could refer to rooting an Android, a type of robot. cookie monster 755 03:10, 22 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose Rooting is rarely called "Android rooting", it's just "rooting". InfiniteNexus (talk) 03:47, 22 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
