Editorial Policy
Publishing
In the first version of the project, content is published only by the project owner via Git. The site architecture allows for future addition of editors and reviewers.
Translations
Publishing in a single language is allowed with a clear note that translation is unavailable. Unchecked machine translation is not published as final content.
Fact Checking
Every factual claim must:
- Be matched against a read primary source
- Have a stated confidence level (1–5 stars)
- Contain a source reference next to the claim
Separating Facts from Opinions
Any claim not requiring proof must be explicitly labeled as editorial opinion, speculation, or recommendation. Users must always know which is which.
Updates
Content is reviewed on a schedule:
- Fast-moving fields — at least annually
- Established fields — at least every two years
- Urgent updates — when high-quality data contradicts key claims
Corrections
Discovered errors are corrected within 48 hours. All significant changes are documented in the changelog.
