Readers trust Birdzpedia because we hold every article to the same standards. This page explains how we choose, check and publish what appears on the site.
Our editorial principles
- Accuracy. Facts, figures and claims must be correct and, where possible, supported by a reliable source.
- Originality. We publish original writing only. Copied, spun or lightly rewritten content is rejected.
- Usefulness. Each article should answer a real question or help the reader make a decision.
- Clarity. We prefer plain language, short paragraphs and clear headings.
- Independence. Editorial decisions are made on the quality of the article, not on who submitted it.
How articles are reviewed
Every submission is read by an editor before publication. We check the topic fit, the quality of the writing, the sources and the links. Articles that need work are returned to the author with feedback. Articles that do not meet our standards are declined.
Sources and links
Statistics and specific claims should link to the original or a respected source. Outbound links must be relevant and helpful to the reader. We do not publish links to sites that are misleading, harmful or unrelated to the article.
Images
Images must be relevant and properly licensed. We add descriptive alt text so the site stays accessible to every reader.
Sponsored and contributed content
Some articles are contributed by outside writers and brands. They go through the same review as every other article and must offer real value to readers. Contributors are credited with a byline.
Corrections and updates
If you spot an error, please tell us through the Contact page. We correct verified mistakes promptly and update articles when information changes.
