can this page be easily accessible (like from the left-side taskbar or something) ?

I love the fact that you guys created this page ; i believe having less and less reliance on discord is a good thing, but currently this page is hidden deep and if you dont know it exists you will never find it. Please make it available easily in some way. Plankton (talk) 19:27, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for posting this… I believe that is indeed the plan that we’re either going to add this to the policy page or the side bar or the help page. The team will discuss it and we will update you. Atsumari (talk) 19:29, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

Done. I agree better visibility is important. 📎 JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 20:16, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

Also, this page is linked to on all the article notice templates so it'll be easy to find when someone needs to come here. 📎 JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 21:01, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

deletion request :

this is difficult to explain because english is my second language but i believe some people have accidently written stuff in the wrong article. please check out this article yourself, you will understand what i mean when reading the title and the content. Plankton (talk) 21:00, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the report! I have removed the article for being written with AI. It is now protected so nobody can create an article with that title. Mr Pollo (talk) 21:51, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

Request for comment: Transcript articles

An editor has raised a question on the need for AI generated transcripts of Louis Rossmann videos being hosted on this site. It seems these articles have been around for a while and are in the guideline pages as okay to include. I don't feel strongly about these and I wanted to ask more broadly about the need. According to Category:Transcripts we have about 20 of them.

Here is the comment in question that prompted me asking for feedback from others: Talk:Insta360 camera locks you out "to protect your consumer rights" - corporate gaslighting#why does this bs exist. why do these articles exist. can we stop ? this is so annoying. who wants this ?? (pinging @Plankton) 📎 JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 01:06, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

yeah thats me. i apologize for the strong language in my original post on the talk page of the article. I just dont feel these articles are worth anything at all. I doubt anyone would ever read them. And their existance may even turn people down from writing their own article on the subject since one (though of poor quality) already exists. I dont know why they were allowed in the first place, but i feel like they should be removed. In my opinion, they bring down the quality of the wiki. If a gouvernment representative ever looks at the wiki for info and falls onto AI bs, they might not see the wiki as a quality documentation. Plankton (talk) 01:24, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

I think you're right. They served a purpose to start with, but have outlived it. I'll do a proper purge of them and anything related to them shortly, starting with deleting those ones you linked just now Keith (talk) 10:44, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

Ok - I've deleted the transcripts which were on the site. I'll start the rest of the cleanup in a bit but in the meantime feel free to point out any references to them that need to go and I can mop them all up Keith (talk) 11:02, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

I assume Template:Autogenerated needs to go also? 📎 JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 15:00, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

Am i allowed to make articles on legislature that is outside the US ?

For the Legislature articles, are they only US centric ? or can I make articles on legislature from my country ? Moreover, do the sources cited need to be in english. Obviously the content of the page needs to be in english since this is an english wiki, but can the source be in other languages ? Plankton (talk) 22:25, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

Consumer rights is a global issue. Yes, it is okay to include non-US issues and non-english sources, but it is preferable to find English sources. 📎 JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 22:52, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

Hello dear moderators, please delete the page FTX i created

So, At first i thought i should make an article on what happened with FTX and so i started a page. But after some thoughts i realised that the actual article I wanted to write is on the systemic issue of cryptocurrency fraud in general, and not simply on FTX. so can you guys please delete the FTX page i made ? Plankton (talk) 05:23, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

If you want to keep the page and just have it converted to another name, we can do that that way it still aligns with the issue you’re trying to discuss. As long as it’s systemic and works with in the editorial guidelines, it doesn’t necessarily need to be deleted. If you still do want us to remove it, please let us know. The same thing it was for if you want more help with the article just feel free to let us know. Atsumari (talk) 11:53, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

Deletion appeal "Presonus removes VSL...."

Hello, I created a few days ago a page about Presonus deleting a software that was marketed with audio interfaces. I tried making changes on the page but the captcha just wouldn't trust that I was human and wouldn't let me add content to the article that's why it was empty.

It should now have some context and references, sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards Leonneon (talk) 21:09, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

I take it you're talking about this article Presonus removes VSL mixing app from VSL audio interfaces products line @Leonneon? I have removed the deletion notice. Thanks for making the article. 📎 JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 23:15, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

Should CRW be indexed by search engines?

Hello, I am writing here as I found a setting in the visual editor if you click those three lines and then ‘advanced settings’, which asks if you want a page to be indexed by search engines. I am sure that this setting is set to default, which means no on all articles (unless this was covered before and i do not know about it). I think this setting could be useful sometimes, but not always, to make the wiki easier to find and not just “I watch Louis Rossman so I know about the CRW!” and also make others learn about this in general. You can probably make a discussion about this if this wasn’t talked about before. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 19:27, 23 August 2025 (UTC)

HP requiring subscription for IT support diffhist +1,453 143.246.146.39 talk (If you go to https://www.hp.com/us-en/services/consumer/smartfriend-overview.html?jumpid=MAS-1755983234985HDG6YCT_RTM_SmartFriend_01 you will see that HP requires you to now pay a $16 dollar subscription to get 24/7 help desk support. Otherwise you are redirected to a best buy which is also impossible to reach. I found this because my laptop came with a defect and the screen has a lot of backlight bleed and I cant reach anyone for appointments or fixing plans. Its bull.)
