Editorial Policy

Quality standards for guides, wiki pages, and calculator content

Last updated: March 2, 2026. This policy explains how content is written, reviewed, corrected, and separated from advertising decisions on this site.

1. Editorial Mission

The mission is to publish practical, honest, and reproducible Atlas Earth guidance. Content should help users make better decisions about parcels, boosts, badges, and Atlas Bucks without hype or unrealistic income framing.

The site prioritizes clarity over volume. A smaller set of accurate, updated resources is preferred over high-volume thin pages.

2. Accuracy Standards

  • Numerical claims should map to calculator logic or a documented source.
  • Pages are updated when mechanics change; update dates are visible in wiki metadata where applicable.
  • New strategic claims are stress-tested against multiple account ranges, not single-case examples.
  • Ambiguity is labeled explicitly rather than presented as certainty.

3. Sources and Verification

Content may use:

  • In-game mechanics that users can directly verify.
  • Community-tested observations that are reproducible.
  • Cross-validation between independent tools on this site (for consistency checks).

When confidence is lower on a topic, language is adjusted to reflect uncertainty and readers are directed to test assumptions with their own inputs.

4. Corrections Policy

If an error is identified, the correction target is as fast as possible after verification. Corrections can include formula fixes, threshold updates, wording clarification, or structural changes where the original explanation was misleading.

Material corrections are reflected in the page update date and, when needed, related tools are updated in the same release to avoid partial inconsistencies.

5. Independence and Advertising

  • This site is independent and not affiliated with Atlas Reality, Inc.
  • Advertising, sponsorship, or donation status does not determine article conclusions or calculator output.
  • Informational pages can be shown with reduced or no ad load when that improves readability and trust.
  • No paid placement is accepted for claim ranking inside guides or wiki references.

6. Community Feedback

Reader feedback is encouraged for bug reports, unclear wording, or missing edge cases. Feedback that includes reproducible steps and sample inputs gets prioritized.
