# Editorial commitments
|
|
|
|
This document is public because the publication should be judged against promises a reader can inspect. It is a working policy, not a claim of infallibility.
|
|
|
|
## Voice
|
|
|
|
We ask one recurring question with cheerful suspicion: when a system claims to be verified, trustless, sovereign, private, safe, or autonomous, what does that mean in practice and where did the trust move?
|
|
|
|
Stories begin with people and consequences. Technical machinery is explained in plain English. Jargon is defined when it is first used. Outrage is reserved for what the evidence supports.
|
|
|
|
## Authorship and maintenance
|
|
|
|
An author and a maintainer are different roles. Every published item identifies its author. Maintained material also names the person responsible for review.
|
|
|
|
Git records provenance and revision history. It does not certify truth, fairness, completeness, or independence. Those remain editorial responsibilities.
|
|
|
|
## Corrections and challenges
|
|
|
|
Corrections are attached to the relevant passage, dated, and described plainly. Substantive changes are not silently folded into a story.
|
|
|
|
Public challenges should identify the passage, objection, and supporting basis. First-hand testimony can be evidence. Sensitive material must use a private channel rather than a public issue.
|
|
|
|
An article-level `disputed` status is used only when the dispute materially changes how the whole article should be read. A challenge to one passage does not automatically label an entire story disputed.
|
|
|
|
## Sources and safety
|
|
|
|
This public repository never contains confidential source identities, unpublished interview notes, private contact information, embargoed drafts, or documents whose publication could endanger a source. Public source links belong in the relevant article; protected reporting material belongs elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
## Conflicts and commercial boundaries
|
|
|
|
Relevant financial, professional, and personal conflicts are disclosed. Sponsorship never buys inclusion, favourable treatment, access to corrections, or influence over review status.
|
|
|
|
## Review dates
|
|
|
|
A `last reviewed` date means a named maintainer genuinely checked the material on that date. It is not updated mechanically to make an archive appear fresh.
