Categorization

Hi! Thank you for your contributions to the wiki. You've been doing a good job cleaning things up.

I noticed that you changed a few things related to categories. Before you continue doing a ton of work on the categories, I should inform you that the admin team has established a system (documented at Categorization) and that I will soon be mass modifying pages to conform to this system, which might invalidate any work that you continue to do.

Again, I appreciate all of the work that you've done :) Waldo (talk) 10:27, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Thank you, and yes I am aware of that this system is in place, so I try to keep changes minimal ;)

The changes that I do make is to give a better overview of the articles that are present, for instance what I recently completed with the Motorola article together with the Xiaomi article. InTransparencyWeTrust (talk) 10:32, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Gotcha, I'm glad we're on the same page :) Waldo (talk) 19:40, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Valve/steam

Thanks for the ping, I deleted the extra article. Kostas (talk) 19:41, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

Thank you, I also suggested some other articles to be deleted on your discussion page InTransparencyWeTrust (talk) 19:47, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

Ah, I opened that at some point and forgot. I will take a look, thanks for the reminder. Either way we are trying to go through them periodically so any articles added to the category should be taken care of soon. Btw are you a member of the discord? Kostas (talk) 19:58, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

No not a member of it currently. Figured to just collaborate with the talk pages, so that the communication is open to everyone who visits the wiki InTransparencyWeTrust (talk) 20:07, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

Sounds good, I just wanted to make sure you had the wiki contributor role if you were on there as you have been doing a lot of work on the wiki. Kostas (talk) 20:29, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

Country articles

Hi, I've been looking over the United Kingdom article that popped up, and have been considering its role, or the role of articles like it, on the wiki. In my view, as we already accept the inclusion of agencies such as the FCC or other legislative/public bodies which have an influence on how consumer protections are defined or enforced, it might be appropriate to have an article titled 'Government of the United kingdom' (and other similar articles, perhaps the US might have federal and state ones) as an article for things about decisions directly taken by the UK govt (e.g. a link to the page for the apple icloud thing, but probably not that one about the guy at the airport as that's more of a civil rights thing than a consumer rights thing). This could potentially act as a hub for other UK government consumer organisations e.g. the CMA, as well as discussing legislation passed and actions taken by the UK government which relate to consumer protection. It would fit in as a tier 2 'entity' article.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this? Keith (talk) 15:24, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Articles about legislation in countries are more than welcome, that is also where the legislation category is for. For now I do not see the need to create country legislation articles, as there are not enough articles to back those up yet. I was quite strict on the creation of the country pages, as they invited a lot of content unrelated to the wiki, so that is why articles on consumer protection agencies and initiatives are much more preferred than generic country articles. But I do get the point of collecting legislation regions are subject to, that is also why I started on creating region categories for legislation.

Contacting about a potentual post i am unsure if i should add?

Hello, i hope who ever reads this is well and doing well.

There is a potential legal matter i wish to raise about a certification company and would like to know how i can speak with some one privity and securely on the matter?

Background:

It involves disability discrimination related to physical disabilities and testing towards sold study and certification pacck to me with statement of support, but two years of run around with none provided since 2023. I am unsure if posting this here is appropriate, and as such i was hoping to speak with a moderator on the matter privately first to remain anonymous, and sanity check my best course of action before i post something that could hurt my potential case towards holding said company liable.

Please let me know whats possible, and thank you in advance.
