Editorial Principles
Petardas.org aims to publish useful, accurate, readable and responsible content for a general audience.
Accuracy
Writers and editors should make reasonable efforts to verify factual claims before publication and distinguish established facts from opinion, interpretation or uncertainty.
Sources
Where a subject depends on verifiable facts, preference should be given to primary sources, official documentation and reputable reporting. Sources should be represented fairly and in context.
Independence
Editorial conclusions should not be purchased by advertisers, sponsors or affiliate partners. Commercial material should be labelled appropriately.
Headlines
Headlines should accurately reflect the article and should not intentionally mislead readers for clicks.
Updates
Older content may be reviewed, corrected or updated when circumstances change. Material changes should be handled transparently where appropriate.
AI-Assisted Work
If AI tools are used in research, drafting or production, human editors remain responsible for reviewing factual accuracy, originality, appropriateness and final publication decisions.
Conflicts of Interest
Writers and editors should disclose material personal or commercial interests that could reasonably affect coverage.
