We're building a wiki to document consumer protection issues; every time a company has taken part in the anti-ownership, anti-privacy, anti-consumer practices that Louis has discussed on his channel for the past decade.

Take a look at our [[Article Types]] and familiarise yourself with the [[Mission statement#Editorial guidelines|Editorial Guidelines]] on the mission statement page, as well as [[Wiki Content Policies|our content policies]], then pick a topic from the video list and get to it! We don't expect there to be a clean '1 video = 1 article' translation. Instead, the information from the videos should be combined with outside sources to contribute to articles about the incidents, entities, and themes discussed in the video. Please remember to update the video page with links to any articles you write, in order to help us avoid duplication. At this early stage of the Wiki, don't worry about creating stubs, or starting an article with the intention to allow yourself or someone else to finish it at a later date. Right now our main focus is on putting pen to paper, and getting the Wiki populated. | Take a look at our [[Article Types]] and familiarise yourself with the [[Mission statement#Editorial guidelines|Editorial Guidelines]] on the mission statement page, as well as [[Wiki Content Policies|our content policies]], then pick a topic from the video list and get to it!
