Evidence rules

Editorial Policy

How Verity Mod Guide ranks sources, marks dates, handles uncertainty, and corrects time-sensitive claims.

Source levels

Maintainer sources establish the identity, supported versions, files, setup notes, and current status of a particular playable project. Official documentation supports behavior of products such as Groq, Ollama, Minecraft, and Cloudflare. Creator sources provide context for the original character or video work. Community sources reveal common questions and reports but do not prove technical or personal allegations.

Dates

“Last checked” records when a source was reviewed. It is not automatically changed when typography, navigation, or unrelated wording is edited. A release date is quoted only when the source shows it. Relative labels such as current or legacy are tied to the displayed check date.

Uncertainty and removals

When a project disappears or changes name, the guide checks author, Project ID, file history, and maintainer communication. It does not convert Reddit comments, Discord screenshots, or repeated rumors into a factual deletion reason. Unsupported explanations are labeled community report or unconfirmed, or omitted.

Downloads and credentials

The editorial rule is to link to maintainer project pages rather than direct files. The site does not host mod packages, publish recovered files, shorten download links, or ask a user to submit a Groq credential. Screenshots and videos must keep creator/source information in the media manifest.

Corrections

A correction should replace the claim, update the source-check date for the affected fact, and preserve the distinction between article edit time and source review time. Material compatibility changes should also update the selector tests and edition matrix before deployment.
