Editorial standards
Editorial Policy
This policy explains how dear-passengers.net writes about Dear Passengers, labels uncertainty, and corrects mistakes when the official record changes.
Core principles
- Lead with verifiable information before interpretation.
- Use plain language that makes uncertainty visible instead of hiding it in fine print.
- Keep evergreen pages current when official facts change, rather than stacking conflicting statements.
- Prefer useful guidance over filler copy written only to repeat keywords.
Status labels used on factual pages
- Confirmed: backed by an official or first-party source that readers can verify.
- Not announced: the topic has not been officially confirmed, so the page does not treat absence of information as a final no.
- Reported, not confirmed: a credible secondary source exists, but no first-party confirmation has been found.
- Editorial inference: the site is drawing a limited conclusion from footage, demo behavior, or context, and it is presented as interpretation rather than promise.
- Outdated: earlier information was superseded and is preserved only when readers need the timeline.
Corrections and updates
If a page contains a factual error, the preferred fix is to correct the page quickly, update the visible review or modification date when the substance changed, and align related pages that repeat the same fact.
Mechanical date changes without real review are avoided. A new modification date should mean a real source check, real content change, or both.
Opinion, strategy, and early analysis
Strategy advice, role recommendations, and similar gameplay analysis may involve judgment. When that happens, the page should explain the basis for the recommendation and avoid presenting early observations as universal truths.
Before a public demo or release exists, highly specific tactics are kept narrow and explicitly framed around available footage or other verifiable inputs.
Commercial independence
The site currently publishes editorial content without advertising, affiliate modules, paid rankings, or sponsored placement on these trust pages.
If monetization is introduced later, the relevant disclosures and privacy details will be added before those features go live.
