All content | '''All content''' on the Consumer Rights Wiki '''must be verified''' by presence of a citation in the article. That means whenever you assert something as true (ex. Samsung requiring a subscription to display pictures on a TV they sell) requires an ''inline citation''. The corresponding citation for the example would look like this: <ref name="forum2">{{cite web |date=2025-08-01 |title=Solved: Frame TV cannot display slideshow of my own personal pictures unless I pay membership fee |url=https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/tv/frame-tv-cannot-display-slideshow-of-my-own-personal-pictures/td-p/12892255 |publisher=Samsung Community}}</ref>. | ||
Ideally while editing, sources are introduced when new content is added to this wiki. If you see content that should have a citation, yet doesn't, please use the <code><nowiki>{{citation needed}}</nowiki></code> template. | Ideally while editing, sources are introduced when new content is added to this wiki.

Anything likely to be challenged. This means any facts you assert as true, quotes, or descriptions about products. | |||
*Facts should have the highest quality of sources. | |||
*Quotes need to be sourced from where you got the information from. This is the one time you can cite Wikipedia if you take a quote from there. | |||
