Clear labels

If commercial content is introduced, the relationship will be disclosed before the first editorial claim, in plain language, and on the card or link that leads to it. A footer-only notice is not sufficient.

Editorial control

A commercial partner may check factual product details but may not approve conclusions, choose comparative subjects or prevent a correction. Sponsored work must use the same sourcing and update standards as other articles.

Links and compensation

Ordinary museum, library and text-repository links are research citations, not compensated referrals. If a future link can result in compensation, it will be identified beside that link and described on this page.

Reader data

Commercial agreements may not introduce undisclosed tracking or condition access to core editorial content on marketing consent.
