Sources and collection
Evidence standards for submitted facts and automated drafts.
1. Evidence
Keep a source URL, access time, publisher, and the scope of its support. Prefer official sources for basic facts and independent reporting for corroboration.
2. Conflicts
Do not choose a value arbitrarily when sources disagree. Flag the conflict for review, especially for dates, roles, and legal matters.
3. Collection boundaries
Respect robots directives and source terms. Do not bypass logins, paywalls, or CAPTCHA. Do not republish full source text.
4. Draft release
Mark AI drafts for review. Normal-risk collection drafts may be automatically published only after reviewed source policies, reuse rights, absence of conflicting facts and source-cited descriptive content pass the publication checks. Metadata-only drafts, unclear sources, conflicts and high-risk personal data remain for review and are never automatically published.
