Editorial and Source-Review Standards at 420.place

Source hierarchy

Use controlling government and regulator material for law and policy, official health agencies and prescription labeling for safety, and primary or peer-reviewed research for scientific claims. A secondary explainer can add context but should not replace a controlling source.

Review states are separate

A link check records reachability. A source check records what source and claim changed. A complete editorial or specialist review requires durable evidence tied to the exact article content hash. Timestamps must not be refreshed merely to make content appear current.

High-risk material

Legal status, driving, travel, workplace testing, dosing, and medication-interaction pages receive the shortest review cadence. If evidence is incomplete or a required specialist review is missing, the page can remain directly accessible with a correction notice but must be excluded from search, sitemap, feed, and AI discovery surfaces.

Corrections and releases

Material changes update the public article date and record the source-review evidence. Production releases require tests, an immutable package, approval bound to the exact commit and hashes, rollback information, and live readback.

Automated and agent-assisted work is identified as such; it is not represented as physician, pharmacist, or lawyer approval. See How We Fact-Check and Review Governance.
