Accuracy standard
Animal facts should be specific, plain-language and supported by reputable sources. Conservation status and range claims require particular care because they can change.
Human review
The site owner should review new or substantially changed records before publishing. Automated text should never be treated as a source.
Corrections
Reasonable correction reports should be checked against current primary or authoritative material. When a factual correction is confirmed, update the record, its source references and any affected page copy.
Editorial independence
No payment, sponsorship or affiliation is implied by inclusion in the dataset or by links to external sources.
