Talk:Positive Practices

Have marked this as irrelevant, because unfortunately this is a topic which seems too wide-ranging and vague for the wiki, as well as exceptionally prone to brigading by those wishing to promote their own products. There are too many good products in the world to list them all in one page. The Q&A in the Mission statement describes the only scenario in which we imagine products being mentioned as 'alternatives' in a positive light.

Depending on further discussion, it will probably be deleted.

Okay So I'm guessing I can respond in this field?

Thank you for the moderation Keith. I understand the caution on opening the field on company endorsements. I was editing the page with more of my intentions. I saved it way too early not knowing it would publish it, I thought it was more akin to saving my changes locally. If you're able to see the changes made I'm more trying to educate not which companies are good but rather things to consider when making purchases. I still don't have it fully fleshed out, I was about to take a break.

I do confess this page isn't 100 percent on the mission statement, however I'm not positive it's fully irrelevant. I firmly believe people visiting this wiki to be educated on what anti-consumer practices companies have enacted will ponder what can be done about it. Well... I hope so at least?

I know this wiki is still fresh, so I guess something to consider going forward: What action/reaction does CAT want to endorse, if any? It may be helpful for future moderation to establish this and clarify it within the editorial guideline.

Don't worry, I'm only just figuring out how talk pages work too lol. Apologies for coming on harshly initially, and I can see from your subsequent edits that I misinterpreted the intent of the article based on its initial wording, and I think that this potentially has the makings of a good Theme article (or even a category of theme articles!). I've removed the relevancy notice, and I look forward to seeing where it goes! Later we might have a discussion over where the relevancy line is drawn (like maybe it's fine to say 'these practices are good' but framing it as a buyer's guide is a bit much? idk) but for now it would be great to see what it turns into! Again, sorry for coming on so harshly so soon after the creation of the page. Keith (talk) 23:20, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
