Editorial Policy
Editorial standards
Our content aims to be accurate, clear, and useful. We avoid speculation presented as fact. When we make interpretive statements (for example, about aesthetics or collecting value) we label them clearly as opinion or guidance.
Research process
Writers and editors gather information from books, museum records, manufacturer manuals, auction and dealer catalogs, archival advertising, specialist publications, and reputable online resources. When possible we cite or link to primary or authoritative sources.
Source selection
We prioritize primary documents, well‑regarded reference works, museum and institutional collections, technical manuals, and trusted specialist sites. Third‑party blogs and marketplaces are used cautiously and cross‑checked against stronger sources.
Fact checking
Content undergoes a factual review to verify key dates, technical specifications, maker marks, and restoration methods. Technical instructions and safety recommendations are checked by editors familiar with the subject matter.
AI assistance disclosure
We sometimes use AI tools to help draft, summarize, or suggest edits. Any AI‑generated material is reviewed and edited by human members of the WTUNY Editorial Team before publication. AI is used to increase efficiency, not to replace human editorial judgment.
Human and editorial review
All published articles are reviewed by at least one human editor. Feature pieces and technical guides receive additional review focused on accuracy, clarity, and safety where applicable.
Content updates and corrections
We aim to keep information current. Articles are reviewed periodically and updated when new information becomes available. If you spot an error or want to suggest an update, please contact us (see Contact below). We will investigate reported issues and post corrections or updates when warranted.
Independence and advertising disclosure
Editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers and commercial partners. When content includes sponsored material, affiliate links, or commercial relationships, we disclose that relationship clearly within the relevant article.
Author and byline approach
Articles are credited either to the individual contributor who wrote the piece or to the WTUNY Editorial Team. Contributor bios (when provided) describe the author’s areas of interest or experience; we do not invent professional credentials. If a byline is not available, the article will be attributed to the WTUNY Editorial Team.
Content maintenance and review
Our policy is to review evergreen and technical articles regularly (at least once per year) or sooner if new, important information emerges. Restoration guides and safety‑sensitive content are reviewed more frequently to ensure safe practices are recommended.
Corrections and feedback
If you find an error or have feedback, please use our contact form: Contact WTUNY. Provide a clear description of the issue and any sources or images that support your correction. We respond to correction requests and will update content when appropriate.
