Just posting this here for moderator and editor visibility, I've added a section to the [[Consumer Rights Wiki:Style guide#External links|style guide]] which should give some clarity on external links, and also to start a push for including links to the relevant iFixit pages for products where they come up.

This home security system does not work unless it can phone home to their centralized services to verify if you still have an active subscription with them. Even though all of my sensors and hardware are still perfectly functional and *capable* of doing their job locally, this system won't work unless I can hook it up to their license verification service.

Appeal to remove the tone and stub notices on the [[Audible]] article. This was my first contribution so if there are still issues with the article I would appreciate some guidance into what those issues are so that I can properly fix them [[User:Nyerelia|Nyerelia]] ([[User talk:Nyerelia|talk]]) 19:49, 16 September 2025 (UTC) | Appeal to remove the tone and stub notices on the [[Audible]] article.

== appeal deletion Medical ventilators == | :Looking over the article, I see a few things: | ||
:#Under the '''Audiobook monopoly''' sub-section for '''Consumer impact summary''', there is jargon ("professional attorney valorations") that isn't sufficiently explained in the article itself nor the citations used (at least from what I could tell). I would go even further and outright remove the portion beginning with "leading to widespread criticism", since it's both {{Wplink|Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Words_to_watch#Unsupported_attributions|weaselly}} and duplicative of what's better demonstrated under the '''Punishment of non-exclusive deals''' sub-section (which itself could be renamed to something more neutral). | |||
:#The '''Products''' section is overly broad and has no citations. Until there is something to back up its premise, I recommend deleting that section. | |||
:#There is currently still placeholder text for the "Using credits to subsidize streaming service" sub-section under the "Incident" section, so that needs a summary even if its just one sentence. | |||
:#Unrelated to the tone and stub notices: The citations are placed such that that they are within punctuation instead of outside of it. This makes for both an unusual presentation and awkward reading. Placing citations ''after'' a nearby punctuation (e.g. end of a sentence) makes for a smoother experience. | |||

While the big wave of covid ventilator demand is past, similar issues may well arise in other emergency situations, whether for ventilators or other med. tech. Lack of repairability also increases medical care costs, and e-waste.

Clicking on it currently leads to the top of the [[Mission statement]] article since the original section label no longer exists. — [[User:Sojourna|Sojourna]] ([[User talk:Sojourna|talk]]) 01:32, 12 July 2025 (UTC) | Due to the changes made since this template's creation in January 2025, I recommend updating the link used for "editorial guidelines".
