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>.
