Specialist review roles described on the site are requirements for the work, not a claim that a permanent staffed organisation or every named reviewer role is already in place.<\/p>\n<p>For each substantive page, identify who prepared the material and who checked the relevant facts, language, method and implementation. Record missing review rather than implying approval.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"reading-section\" id=\"policy-243-02\">\n<h2>Separate the kinds of review<\/h2>\n<p>Factual review checks whether the evidence supports the claim. Method review checks definitions, comparisons and calculations. Editorial review checks clarity and completeness. Technical review checks that the implemented page matches the intended copy and functions.<\/p>\n<p>A formatting or SEO check cannot approve a medical, legal, scientific or other specialist claim. An automated test passing does not prove that the underlying research is correct.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"reading-section\" id=\"policy-243-03\">\n<h2>Use stronger checks where harm is greater<\/h2>\n<p>Claims involving health, violence, children, personal finance, security, allegations or sensitive locations need appropriate expertise and privacy safeguards. A serious unresolved issue should prevent the page being described as complete.<\/p>\n<p>Where independent review is unavailable, narrow the claim, explain the uncertainty and keep the item in review. Do not invent a second reviewer or specialist approval.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"reading-section\" id=\"policy-243-04\">\n<h2>Manage interests and influence<\/h2>\n<p>Authors, reviewers and contributors should disclose financial, political, institutional or personal interests relevant to the material. Record how a conflict is handled before relying on the review.<\/p>\n<p>Funding, institutional status, publicity and audience pressure must not determine evidence labels or conclusions. Separate any support relationship from the assessment of a proposal.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"reading-section\" id=\"policy-243-05\">\n<h2>Publication and correction records<\/h2>\n<p>Keep the source, date, review scope, outstanding issues and version associated with the page. A concept may be published as a clearly labelled proposal while factual or local implementation questions remain open; that is different from a verified result.<\/p>\n<p>Material errors need a documented correction or withdrawal decision. Follow the corrections policy and protect people when describing what changed.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"reading-section\" id=\"policy-243-06\">\n<h2>What still needs to be established<\/h2>\n<p>Information Required: named ongoing editorial owners, specialist reviewer arrangements, conflict declarations and an operational escalation process for the final service.
