=== I'm interested in writing about an incident, but it happened a long time ago. Can I put it on the Wiki? === | |||
Again, the answer here is yes! As long as it was a notable event which was relevant to consumer protection, and fits the other inclusion criteria for the wiki, then historical events within the last ~40 years are fine. Beyond ~40 years, though, any mentioned incidents should really be of historical significance in order to merit a mention. | |||
