Daily article operations guide
Separate facts from advice in the daily article review
Help editors see which sentences need evidence and which express the site’s operating guidance.
Where the work breaks
Practical advice often sits beside external facts. When prose blurs them, a citation can appear to validate a recommendation the source never made.
A routine the team can repeat
Label consequential sentences as sourced fact, calculation, inference, house practice, or recommendation. Put citations beside facts and show calculation inputs.
What to keep in the record
Keep labels in review notes unless a boundary matters to readers. Preserve the source passage for every claim that survives the gate.
Who decides
Assistants classify and flag sentences. Editors own interpretations and recommendations; qualified specialists handle protected advice.
Use this in the daily queue
Apply the check to one named article and keep the result with that article’s release record. A short, specific entry is more useful than a generic "done" status.
