Publication policy

Automation may assist collection, normalization, and drafting. A named human remains responsible for publication.

Our commitments

  • Routine transcription, spelling, metadata, tagging, and internal research organization are explained here rather than repeated on every article.
  • Material Watch or automated contribution receives a precise record-level production note.
  • Human review is claimed only when the record documents an actual human review; an automated unreviewed update says so explicitly and remains limited to low-risk records.

Accountability

Ivan Bradshaw is responsible for publication decisions. Material changes are dated and kept in the record.
