The Guessarium editorial team

Every history card on this site is approved by a person before it can be indexed. That review is attributed to the Guessarium editorial team rather than to a named individual, and an approval means someone read the card with both audits open beside it.

Why there's no name on it

Plenty of sites attach a byline and a string of letters to content the named person never touched. We'd rather attribute the review to the team that does it and let the editorial policy carry the weight. The process is public and specific, which is a stronger claim than a headshot.

If a named byline goes on these pages later, it will name the credential that actually applies and nothing else.

What a reviewer checks

The reviewer sees the card, the automated gate's score and every blocking problem, the independent audit's verdict, any source checks that were run, and the two auditors' disagreements sorted to the top. Cards are triaged so the ones with real problems get read first and the ones with a phrasing quibble don't shout.

The reviewer can send a card back, rename it, correct it, or approve it. Approval is not a formality. It's the only thing that lets an event page into the index, and until it happens the page tells search engines to skip it.

What review does not cover

Review checks the write-up. It doesn't check the game's questions, which are generated live and are not factual claims about the world. And a reviewed card can still be wrong. If you spot something, send it over.
