Editorial policy

Filing slip · editorial policy · 12 August 2026. This page states how Wire Craft Pro verifies, labels, corrects and archives copy. It is a desk manual for readers — not a marketing charter or ranking promise.

Step one: read the verification ladder below. Step two: read correction and archive rules. Step three: read the FAQ accordion. Step four: write to [email protected] if anything remains unclear after you finish.

Corrections publish with a visible revision note and timestamp on the affected thread. Material errors receive a corrected paragraph; clarifications receive an appended context note filed separately from the headline.

We do not accept payment for coverage, placement or speed. Desk hours define when mail is read, not when copy publishes — publication follows verification completion, not clocks alone or external pressure.

Photographs we publish document our room and nearby streets. We do not illustrate filings with unrelated stock art or generative images; every frame on this site was captured in situ.

Complaints about accuracy should go to [email protected] with supporting documents attached. A verifying editor responds within two desk days when possible, logging the exchange beside the original thread.

Archive policy keeps published threads available with revision history intact. Takedown requests are assessed against public interest, source safety and legal requirement — not convenience for subjects uncomfortable with accurate filing.

Beat and format labels must appear before copy enters the mono index. Editors who skip labelling must rewrite before a verifying editor will sign — unlabelled paragraphs do not publish.

Anonymous material requires a written justification stored with the thread and a plain-language explanation for readers. Section editors may reject tips that cannot meet that standard without speculation.

Policy updates appear on this page with a revised dateModified field in JSON-LD. When editorial standards change in substance, the desk posts a dated summary on the homepage mono strip for seven days before archiving it to the policy archive folder.

Wire Craft Pro describes editorial methods on this site only. Coverage judgement rests on sources and timing; nothing here commits the desk to a particular filing, ranking or commercial result. Specific engagement terms are set out in writing when teams formally brief the desk.

Conflict of interest: editors declare relevant affiliations to the planner desk before signing threads. Undeclared conflicts discovered after publish trigger correction and internal review — readers see correction notes when facts change.

Opinion and analysis are labelled when they appear; wire filings remain document-led. Commentary never replaces unnamed sourcing on hard news threads without explicit format change to context note.

Embargoed material is held until the stated release time in the primary document. Early publication requires written agency confirmation logged beside the thread — not verbal assurances alone.

Photograph ethics follow the same ladder as text: we do not publish faces of private individuals in distress without editorial justification recorded in the desk log. Public officials at public events are treated differently and noted as such.

Takedown requests unrelated to accuracy are evaluated against public record value. We correct errors; we do not remove accurate filings because subjects prefer silence after publication.

Source relationships do not bypass the verification ladder. Familiar spokespeople still require quotation in named blocks; off-record conversations are not published without written agreement logged internally.

Wire copy avoids speculative future tense unless agencies publish forecasts in primary documents. We describe what was filed, what changed and what remains unknown — not what might happen without evidence.

Translations of agency material quote the official English text when Singapore agencies publish bilingual releases. Other languages are summarised in context notes with source language noted in the thread header.

Social media reposts are not sources. Screenshots of posts require linkage to primary documents or named confirmation before they enter the verification ladder.

Policy FAQ accordion below answers common reader questions without duplicating prose from privacy or terms pages — follow footer links for legal detail beyond editorial method.

Desk methodology updates follow the same correction ladder as news threads — visible notes, timestamps, no silent rewrites of policy paragraphs after publish.
