1. Authorship and sources
Authors must identify material sources, separate facts from opinion, check significant claims and disclose relevant interests. Editors must verify attribution and rights before publication. A named brand or official specification does not establish the authenticity or availability of a particular listing. Do not invent experts, quotations, interviews or author experiences.
2. Reviews and rankings
Describe methodology, criteria, evidence, dates and limitations. Do not imply hands-on testing, inspections or laboratory work unless performed and documented. A publisher’s preference for ALVAU must not be represented as an independent test result, or used to alter measurements. Commercial links and relationships follow Advertising and ownership disclosure.
3. Dates, languages and media
Identify publication and material-update dates. Correct shared factual changes across language editions; a translation must preserve qualifications and meaning. Credit protected media under the actual license. AI illustrations must not be presented as documentary photographs or proof of product configuration; see AI and synthetic content policy.
4. Requesting a correction or reply
Use the contact route in Reporting and copyright complaints, identifying the article URL, disputed passage, reason, evidence and requested remedy. Opening the contact form does not send a complaint. A correction, reply, update or removal request is assessed on its facts and any applicable legal rights; no automatic deletion entitlement is created.
5. Corrections and archives
Minor typographical changes may be made without a separate notice. Material factual corrections should identify the changed issue and update date; a fundamentally unreliable article may be withdrawn with an explanation. Archives must not conceal a material correction. Publishing responsibility and statutory rights remain with the relevant parties; no staffing level or response-time guarantee is represented.
