Editorial Standards

How topics are selected, researched, edited, corrected and kept within safety boundaries.

Editorial principles

Pages are planned around a clear reader question, not around publishing frequency. Overlapping subjects are consolidated instead of being repeated under slightly different titles.

Research and review

  • Prefer official Canadian public-health, energy-efficiency, recall and safety sources for national guidance.
  • Use manufacturer instructions for model-specific procedures and limitations.
  • Identify provincial, territorial or municipal variation rather than guessing.
  • Keep emergency guidance short, conservative and action-oriented.
  • Do not imply hands-on testing, trade credentials or field experience that the site does not have.

Corrections

Factual corrections, accessibility problems, copyright concerns and legal or privacy matters may be submitted through the restricted Help Desk listed on the Contact page. The Help Desk is not an appliance-repair or contractor-referral service.

Artificial-intelligence assistance

Automated tools may assist with outlining, drafting, consistency checks and technical formatting. Published pages are organized and edited as site content rather than released as an unattended daily feed. Readers should still verify decisions with current official and professional sources.
