Source review and freshness policy

See source provenance, recorded editorial dates and planned review intervals, with automated availability checks kept separate from fact verification.

How source review works

Editorial review intervals: legal and support sources 30 days, general explanations 90 days, card rules 180 days. These are planned review intervals, not automated fact verification.

A recorded editorial date is inherited from the article or fact entry. It is not a claim of professional legal review or a new independent check of every bibliography item. Undated records stay undated.

Specific assertions, section context and general bibliography are distinguished below. A section citation does not assert that every sentence is separately proved. Excerpts are shortened for readability; the linked article contains the full wording.

The optional manual link checker records availability and content changes separately. A successful response does not establish accuracy. A changed page requests editorial review; it does not prove a rule changed. Access-denied responses are inconclusive. No scheduled monitoring runs automatically.
