Talk:Spyware/to do

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To-do list

  • Add fair use rationales to all of the fair use images used in this article
  • Review User consent & legality section, citing any recent cases we can find involving spyware distributors
  • Review related categories Category:Spyware and Category:Spyware removal
  • Solicit improvement on WP:IDRIVE
  • Make a wiki site on Spyware and Other Malicious Programs -- 12.220.244.143
    • This latter one does not fit with the mission of Wikipedia; maybe it would work for a Wikibook, but not here on Wikipedia. -- LGagnon 02:32, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

Recurring problems

  • Insertion of spam links
  • Insertion of unsourced claim of non-Windows spyware (this will cease to be a "problem" if non-Windows spyware is observed and documented!)
  • Alteration of lead paragraph from "Spyware is thus-and-so" to "'Spyware' is a term that means thus-and-so" -- Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and this article is about spyware, not about the word "spyware".
  • Recommendations and didactic content -- "People should do this" -- Wikipedia is not a how-to guide or list of recommendations
