Editorial policy
How Realm First! verifies signals, labels uncertainty, uses automation and handles corrections.
Our claim labels
Confirmed means a primary source or official announcement supports the claim. Observedmeans a traceable technical or public change exists, but its meaning is not confirmed. Interpretationmarks our reasoning. Unconfirmed keeps a lead visible only when the uncertainty is useful to readers.Debunked records a claim that the evidence no longer supports.
Source hierarchy
- Primary official material, authenticated developer or service evidence.
- Named specialist reporting with a reproducible source trail.
- Community observations used as leads, never silently upgraded to facts.
A link is not automatically permission to republish. We do not copy full articles, images or protected feed content. References to third-party reporting are links plus original Realm First! analysis, subject to the source's terms.
Review and automation
Every publishable article has a named author, an asset-rights record, a source ledger and a review timestamp. Higher-risk leak, live-event, rights and high-reach stories require a second reviewer. Automation may discover, deduplicate, outline and prepare a draft or social variant; a human approves facts, wording, rights and publication.
AI assistance, when used, is disclosed in the article record. AI is not treated as a source and does not turn a thin rewrite into original reporting.
Updates and corrections
Material factual changes receive a visible note and timestamp. We preserve the original meaning in the correction log, link the relevant source and explain what changed. Contact the desk if a published claim needs review.
