Consumer Action Taskforce:Sample/Theme/Help

Sample Theme Article 1: Forced Arbitration

Themes are a high-level type of article, which should primarily aim to explain and justify core consumer protection concepts and challenges. For example, you would have a Theme article explaining the concept of mandatory forced arbitration, forced EULA modifications, or loss of ownership - how it works, why it’s a problem, and some examples of harm caused. These should be great articles for people to link others to when trying to tell them why a certain practice is harmful.

Theme articles may be a useful tool for determining what is and isn’t suitable for inclusion in the wiki. We are considering a future rule, that any incident discussed should link to one or more Themes (this rule is obviоusly оn the backburner until a sufficient range of Theme articles have been written). Theme articles will be subjected to a higher level of protection than average articles, as it is important that they are high-quality.

These articles must be written with the Editorial guidelines in mind.
