Editorial Standards & Corrections

WIKI presents verified facts, relevant context and differing documented perspectives. Readers decide what those facts mean. Personality, curiosity and useful practical guidance belong in the magazine; editorial verdicts on public issues do not.

Evidence and sources

We link significant factual claims to official records, research or attributed reporting. We distinguish facts from projections, proposals, estimates and folklore. A government announcement is not the same as a law in force, and a modelled result is not an observed outcome. Material dates and geographical limits are stated.

Our work and other people’s reporting

WIKI owns its writing, structure and analysis. We credit reporting and research by others. We describe material as original reporting when WIKI has gathered new evidence itself, and identify commissioned, contributed or sponsored material clearly.

AI and editorial responsibility

AI can assist research, drafting and illustrations. It does not sign its own proof. John Quigg retains editorial responsibility and approves stories before publication. We check sources directly rather than treating an AI answer as evidence. Generated illustrations are labelled; they are not documentary photographs.

Commercial independence

Advertisers and affiliate partners cannot change a story, its facts or its conclusions. Paid placements and affiliate links carry visible disclosures. Commercial opportunities are considered separately from editorial decisions.

Corrections

If you find an error, email the publication address listed on our Contact page with the article title, the disputed passage and a supporting source where possible. We assess the evidence and correct material errors on the article, with a dated note explaining what changed. Routine spelling or formatting fixes do not require a correction notice. Substantive updates use the date the information actually changed.
