How We Work
- Changing facts should include a verification date and a link to an official or primary source.
- Recommendations and local observations should be identified as judgment, not presented as universal fact.
- Paid or commercial relationships must be disclosed.
- AI-assisted drafts require human fact-checking before publication.
- Invented people, quotations, observations, schedules, prices, and statistics are prohibited unless content is unmistakably labeled fiction.
- Publication and modification dates must reflect the real editorial history.
