Editorial policy

Here are the rules we follow when preparing texts: who is responsible for them, what they rest on and how quickly inaccuracies are fixed.

Authorship and responsibility

Every piece has an author, and the name is shown on the article page. Responsibility for the facts lies with the site editors, not with outside contractors.

Material on this site is prepared and checked by Marcus Caldwell.

Sources and fact checking

We prefer the primary source to a retelling: if a statement cannot be verified, it does not go into the text.

Corrections procedure

An error report is reviewed within a few working days. If the error is confirmed, the text is corrected and the update date and the reason for the edit are shown on the page.
