Claim and source
Each factual claim points to the closest useful primary policy, protocol or registry source.
Direct answer: Read the sourcing, originality, automation, correction and review standards used for WhoisRequest.org tools, guides and research articles.
The editorial standard is evidence first: state the user decision, use the closest primary source, distinguish observation from inference, and publish only when the page adds practical value beyond a protocol definition.
Key relationships at a glance
Example and label
Each worked example states whether it is illustrative instead of presenting invented testing as fact.
Correction and evidence
A material correction requires the page, disputed statement, current evidence and observation date.
Published explainers are organized in the WHOIS, RDAP and DNS learning hub rather than generated as near-identical keyword pages.
The About WhoisRequest.org page describes the site's purpose, limits and maintenance model.
A factual correction should follow the evidence requirements in the corrections contact instructions.
Source hierarchy
RFCs, IANA registries, ICANN policy, registry documentation, registrar terms and Regional Internet Registry material are preferred for factual protocol and policy claims. Secondary sources can help discover an issue but do not replace the controlling standard when one exists.
Originality and attribution
Articles must add an interpretation table, procedure, worked example, edge-case analysis or useful functionality. The site does not invent testing, credentials, interviews, research results or user reviews. External claims and source records remain attributable.
Automation controls
Automation assists ingestion, sanitization, duplicate detection, topic checks, source-link checks and scheduling; it is not presented as evidence that a factual claim is true. Docs Library imports require an exact site-identity match, a unique slug, matching title and supplied H1, meaningful domain or network relevance, a recognized primary-source citation, substantive structure and a publication date spaced at least three days after the existing queue. Unrelated, weak or near-duplicate submissions are held rather than published automatically.
Corrections
A correction request should identify the exact page and statement, provide current authoritative evidence, and include the relevant observation time. Material errors are corrected in the page rather than hidden behind a new keyword variation.
Practical standard
- One clear intent per page
- Title and H1 describe the same subject
- Facts trace to appropriate sources
- Examples are labeled illustrative when they are
- Uncertainty and limitations remain visible
