Editorial policy

This section sets out how work on the material is organised. It names the person to contact with a question about the facts.

Authorship and responsibility

The same person writes and proofreads the texts. There is always someone answerable for each statement on the site.

Material on this site is prepared and checked by Dylan Mercer.

How facts are checked

Any figure in the text can be traced back to the document it came from. If a statement cannot be verified, it does not go into the text.

How errors are corrected

We take reports from readers on any piece. Every edit made is visible on the page — by its date and a note on what it covered.
