Questions

What counts as independent?

Independent sources must add their own evidence. A store listing and a publisher press release can repeat the same claim; two copies of that release are not independent confirmation.

Why are some gifts vague?

The like lists come from one community guide.

Will dates change?

If a patch notes page updates, the article date changes with it.

Do you use AI?

Drafting help may be used. Published numbers still need the sources named on the page.

Who is responsible?

The operators of villageintheshade.org.
