-This article needs additional work to meet the wiki's [[Moderator Guidelines|Content Guidelines]] and be in line with our [[Mission statement|Mission Statement]] for comprehensive coverage of consumer protection issues.

-If this is a Theme article:
-* Where argumentation is used make sure it is clear and direct but not inflammatory. Avoid strong language, or causing unnecessary offense.
-* No direct attacks on named individuals or companies. Malice may be attributed to bad and proven offenders, in a formal and calm manner.
