While our ultimate goal is to establish a comprehensive set of policies on the Consumer Rights Wiki, there are numerous areas where our approach aligns with Wikipedia's. This document outlines how we adapt Wikipedia's three primary content policies — [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view|Neutral Point of View (NPOV)]], [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Verifiability|Verifiability]], and [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:No_original_research|No Original Research]] — and highlights both similarities and differences in our approach. | While our ultimate goal is to establish a comprehensive set of policies on the Consumer Rights Wiki, there are numerous areas where our approach aligns with Wikipedia's.

Attention should be paid to Wikipedia’s [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Words_to_watch|guidelines on word choice]]. General principles, such as avoiding the use of ‘claimed’ when it has negative connotations and opting for a neutral term like ‘stated’, remain applicable. As previously mentioned, the primary purpose of Tier 2 and 3 articles is to serve as a record and repository for evidence of anti-consumer activity. A fair and neutral approach is essential for the Wiki to be taken seriously. | Attention should be paid to Wikipedia’s [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Words_to_watch|guidelines on word choice]].

Our primary deviation from Wikipedia's approach to verifiability lies in the range of acceptable sources. Modern consumer protection issues are often inadequately covered by the ‘reliable sources’ preferred by Wikipedia, necessitating an adjustment in our range of acceptable sources. | Our primary deviation from Wikipedia's approach to verifiability lies in the range of acceptable sources.

Facts and opinions are defined as they are within Wikipedia’s NPOV guidelines. Generally, facts should come from a primary source (i.e., a party to events or a party competent to perform primary technical analysis/research on the issue), and opinions and reactions may come from the best available sources, as defined by their notability and competency. | Facts and opinions are defined as they are within Wikipedia’s NPOV guidelines.
