Editorial methodology
Separate the recording, the claim, and the interpretation.
Evidence and attribution
Each video should distinguish observable conduct and direct quotations from allegations, analysis, and commentary. A disputed characterization must identify who makes it, what evidence they cite, and relevant responses. Topic headings describe the editorial filing structure; they do not independently establish any allegation.
How context windows work
For recordings with timing metadata, the player begins at the clip. “See Context” expands the seekable window to up to five minutes before and five minutes after the clip, without rewinding. The original clip remains highlighted. “Watch from context start” rewinds only when selected. “Back to clip” returns to clip-only navigation. When the viewer is outside the clip, returning to clip mode seeks to its beginning.
Source and quotation standards
Prefer original recordings and public documents. Identify mirrors, excerpts, commentary, and secondary reporting. Verify a quotation against the recording; preserve qualifications and relevant surrounding discussion. Cite the source of claims in article prose, and include any relevant response or clarification. Lack of an attached response does not establish that none exists.
Corrections and revisions
Substantive corrections should video the revision date, what changed, and the supporting source. Stable video IDs remain unchanged when headings or topic assignments change. Public visitors cannot edit the site directly; the editor reviews proposed changes before rebuilding and deploying.
