Editorial Standards and Corrections Policy

NukeClock Editorial Team

The editorial team produces reported articles, explainers, topic hubs, and country profiles. Its job is to turn primary documents, technical research, and verified news reporting into clear pages that answer a distinct user question without duplicating existing site coverage.

NukeClock Research Desk

The research desk reviews evergreen explainers, country profiles, and materially updated pages against cited sources, metadata freshness, and internal taxonomy standards before or during major revisions.

NukeClock Live Desk

The live desk maintains daily situation reports and fast-moving update pages. Its workflow prioritizes speed with source labeling, timestamp discipline, and rapid follow-up correction when early reports change.

Sourcing Standards

• We prefer primary documents, official statements, and original datasets when available.
• We use major newsroom reporting to establish fast-moving facts, then update pages as primary material or higher-confidence reporting becomes available.
• We label social or community discussion as signal or sentiment, not verification.
• We aggregate cited references publicly on the Sources page so readers can audit the source stack directly.

Review and Update Standards

• Evergreen explainers, topic hubs, and country profiles should show a review date.
• Materially revised pages should update the review timestamp and keep the cited source set current.
• Situation reports are reviewed on the day they are published and may be revised if casualty counts, battle damage, or official statements change.

News Eligibility

Inclusion in the Google News sitemap is opt-in. Only clearly news-driven pages, such as situation reports or tightly scoped breaking updates, should be marked news-eligible. Evergreen explainers, biographies, comparisons, and background pages should not be treated as news just because they were published recently.

Corrections

When a factual error is confirmed, we correct the page, update the review timestamp when appropriate, and align linked summaries or structured data if the correction changes the main claim. We do not silently preserve outdated figures when the cited record changes.
