Any thoughts?

What works? What might cause problems further down the line? What's been overlooked? Keith (talk) 13:28, 15 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

I guess the questions there are:

I have a few thoughts as a more casual editor, I hope they're helpful
  • On the EA Command and Conquer example, releasing source code is often suggested as a way to preserve games after their online servers have shut down. The original online servers are long gone for C&C, so I'd argue that example could belong here. (I'd agree it doesn't belong here if it's a purely offline game however)
  • Requiring at least two incidents for a company to have an article seems unnecessary. It creates the odd situation where a positive incident can have an article, but the company itself cannot. (In those situations it seems better to just have the incident detailed on the company page?).
  • On non profits, GrapheneOS seems like an example of one that does belong here, because the organisation tends to be quite vocal about privacy and other rights.
