The basic rule at Dating Grounded is simple: verify facts that can change, label judgment through the wording, and do not fill gaps with plausible-sounding details.
Scope comes first
Each guide is assigned one main question. Material that answers a different question is shortened, moved to a related guide, or omitted. This matters more than making every article look equally comprehensive.
Facts that need checking
- Rules, prices, schedules, specifications, availability, and information controlled by an outside organization are checked against suitable primary or authoritative sources when used.
- Local details must affect the reader’s decision, route, timing, access, or fit. A place name by itself is not evidence of local usefulness.
- Stable explanation and editorial analysis do not receive decorative citations simply to make a page appear researched.
Corrections
When a material fact is wrong or has changed, the affected passage should be corrected. When a claim cannot be supported, removal is preferable to an estimate.
The standard is deliberately narrower than “cover everything”: answer the question, support what needs support, and stop.
