How we make it

The editorial role

An editor sets the editorial standards this site is held to, owns the verification policy below, and is responsible for corrections. If something here is wrong, it is theirs to fix.

• Editorial contact: editor@everystreetguide.com
• Corrections: corrections@everystreetguide.com

Each AI-assisted article says at its foot whether a human editor reviewed it. That is the current process rather than a permanent promise — see “How an article reaches the site” below.

Articles on this site are written with AI assistance. We say so on every article that was, at the end of the piece, rather than burying it here.

That does not mean nobody is responsible for them. The standards they are written to, the checks they must pass, and the corrections when they are wrong are all a person's responsibility.

Each AI-assisted article says at its foot whether a human editor reviewed it. That line is generated from the article's own record rather than written by hand, so an article is described as reviewed only when its record says it was.

This is the review phase, and we describe it as such rather than as a permanent guarantee. If articles begin publishing automatically once they pass their checks, this page will say so before it happens, and each article's closing line will say which way it was published.

Articles produced by our content pipeline have their factual claims checked against sources, and any claim that can't be confirmed is flagged for the editor. If a claim contradicts its source, the article is held. If the checking pass cannot run at all, the article is also held — an unverified article is not published on the assumption that it is probably fine.

There is one way past that, and it is deliberately narrow: an article may be released without a completed check only if someone records that decision and says why. The reason is required, not optional, and the article's unverified status is kept rather than cleared — so a release of this kind leaves a trail rather than looking like an ordinary publication.

What we do not claim: that everything here is complete, or that a place has not changed since we wrote about it. Opening hours move, shops close, and a street's story is never finished. Tell us when we are wrong.

Some pictures here are illustrations generated by AI. Others are photographs, licensed from their photographers or used under a licence that permits it. Which is which is recorded for each individual picture, not assumed for the article it sits in.

Every illustration is labelled as an illustration, and every photograph that carries a credit shows it. Where we have not recorded what a picture is, we say nothing rather than guess — you will not see us call an illustration a photograph, and you will not see a photographer's work presented as machine-made.

An editor is responsible for corrections. A correction is made to the article itself, not appended out of sight or quietly dropped.

If we have something wrong, tell us: corrections@everystreetguide.com. Every report is read. We cannot promise an individual reply to each one, but you will see the correction in the article itself — which is the part that matters.
