One writer owns each record
When an editor opens a new record, it becomes theirs. Nobody else can change a word of it — not another editor, not a colleague who happens to know the creator better. That single rule is what stops an archive turning into a comment thread.
Access is handed over, never assumed
When a record needs a second pair of hands, an admin assigns it. The assigned editor gets full editing rights on that one record and nothing else. Every assignment is logged with who granted it and when.
Nothing goes live unreviewed
Authors send finished drafts for review. An editor or admin reads it, checks the vital details against sources, and publishes. Until then the record sits in the desk, visible only to the people working on it.
Every change is dated
Follower counts move, people change agencies, and careers turn. Each record carries the date it was last revised and the name of the editor who wrote it, so you can judge how current it is before you rely on it.
Corrections are welcome
If something here is wrong or out of date, tell us. Corrections are made against the record and the revision date updates, so the fix is visible to everyone who reads it next.
