Editorial Policy

AI-assisted, human-reviewed

Every note on CA-Wiki carries the label "AI-assisted, human-reviewed" — and that is literally how it is made. Drafts are prepared with AI assistance under an editor's direction, and every note is reviewed by a human editor before it is published. Nothing goes live automatically: publishing is a separate, deliberate human action, and the nightly release only ships content an editor has approved. Any AI-generated images would be labeled explicitly as such.

Sourcing

• Government primaries first: our preferred sources are official ones — PIB releases, gazette notifications, ministry documents, RBI publications, and other open-licensed government material.
• Newspapers are leads, not sources to copy: reporting tells us what happened; we then verify against and write from primary sources. Newspaper text is never merged into our notes.
• Every ingested source is recorded with its license, and licensing rules are enforced by our publishing system, not just by policy: content under incompatible licenses is barred from notes automatically.

Original prose, enforced by software

Notes are original factual writing — never copy-pasted sentences from copyrighted sources. This rule is enforced server-side: every draft is automatically checked for verbatim overlap against the source material it cites, and drafts that fail the check are rejected before any editor can even approve them. Facts belong to everyone; our words are our own.

One evolving note per topic

Rather than daily fragments, each topic is a single note that evolves as the story develops. Every update creates a new numbered version with a "what changed" summary, so you can always see how — and when — a note changed since you last read it.

Corrections

When we get a fact wrong, we correct the note and record the correction — topic, versions, what changed, and the date — on our permanent public Corrections & updates log. If a corrected fact affected a quiz question, affected users are notified. Spotted an error? Write to [OWNER: corrections/contact email].
