Every number shown as fact must come from structured data or a named source supplied to the editorial process. If a figure is not available, our writers and models are instructed to write around it, not invent it.
AI-assisted, editor-designed
Language models may help draft, translate, compare, and improve sections. They do not choose their own evidence. Prompts receive the entity record, dated snapshots, encyclopedic context, and permitted sources. Generated HTML is treated as untrusted input, sanitized, scored, and versioned.
Freshness without theater
We never change a date merely to make a page look fresh. The “Today” panel uses the real snapshot date. Permanent sections show the date of their latest accepted version. Sitemap dates follow actual content updates.
News and attribution
News feeds are discovery inputs. Today's Atlas links to original publishers and does not republish full articles. Headlines are not treated as verified facts by themselves.
Corrections
Corrections can be sent through the contact page. Accepted changes create a new version rather than silently erasing the previous record.
