Editorial Standards
Standards for accuracy, neutrality, safety, international scope and advertising separation.
Accuracy and uncertainty
We distinguish general principles from exact rules, avoid unsupported certainty and tell readers when local or current information is required.
Safety and health
Content does not diagnose, treat or prescribe. It avoids pain-as-progress messaging, extreme training, restrictive dieting, rapid weight change and guaranteed injury prevention.
Fair representation
Guides should include different skill levels, regions, genders, ages and adaptive participation without reducing people to stereotypes.
Advertising separation
Advertising does not determine editorial conclusions. An advertisement is not an endorsement.
Corrections
Material errors are corrected when identified. Readers may submit a clear source and affected page through the limited-purpose contact channel.
