- Article consistently conflates Wikimedia with Wikipedia. These are '''two distinct entities.''' Wikimedia Foundation hosts Wikipedia, while Wikipedia itself is run by volunteer editors. There may be more nuance that I'm not aware of, but '''this distinction is crucial.''' Wikipedia may need its own section (rather than being conflated with Mediawiki) in cases where the Foundation's control is limited/blurry [[User:Beanie Bo|Beanie Bo]] ([[User talk:Beanie Bo|talk]]) 03:05, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

None of the incidents listed on this page are related to consumers. Nor is the consumer-impact summary related to consumer right violations. I'm adding an irrelevant notice. [[User:Beanie Bo|Beanie Bo]] ([[User talk:Beanie Bo|talk]]) 18:25, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

:In Wikimedia/Wikipedia's case a gray area is certainly in play. The thing about Wikipedia is theoretically, any readers can become editors at any time so the lines are really blurred in that case. Maybe the Consumer Wiki policy should add some kind of exemptions regarding that case, although a prohibition against naming the defendants or the accused can be implemented to prevent any potential legal issues.[[Special:Contributions/2406:DA18:492:9301:7266:9698:97CA:9E35|2406:DA18:492:9301:7266:9698:97CA:9E35]] 18:28, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

To the user who continues to add irrelevant information under IP edits, you've been asked multiple times not to do this. Your personal gripes with your experience in Wikipedia-editing is completely irrelevant. There is no gray area and this article is irrelevant. It will be deleted in 24 hrs.

:::Actually you have a point that it should be named "Wikipedia" instead of "Wikimedia Foundation", but all-out deletion seems like an overkill. It's been repeatedly emphasized in the Discord server discussion that gray areas are in play and hence it's better to put it in draftspace and let [[User:Keith]] and [[User:Louis]] themselves to proofread it.[[Special:Contributions/15.181.163.103|15.181.163.103]] 14:28, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
