Editorial Standards

Last updated July 25, 2026

Primary-source preference

Release dates, licenses, events, and platform changes should be verified through publishers, creators, convention organizers, or other direct sources before secondary reporting is relied upon.

Facts and opinion

News articles distinguish verified facts from analysis. Editorials include “Opinion” in the category and should not present taste as fact. Reader polls are labeled non-scientific.

Originality

We summarize in our own words, add context, link to sources, and avoid reproducing substantial copyrighted text or artwork.

Updates and corrections

Material corrections are dated. Quiet typo fixes may not receive a separate notice. Release and availability pages carry updated dates because the information changes.

Commercial disclosures

Advertising, sponsorships, affiliate relationships, review copies, and other material relationships must be clearly disclosed near the relevant content.

AI-assisted work

Automation may help discover sources, organize research, or prepare drafts. A responsible editor must verify factual claims, check sources, review copyright risk, and approve publication.
