Source hierarchy
Legislation and competent public bodies come first, followed by peer-reviewed research, recognised taxonomic databases and official manufacturer documentation. Shops, forums and videos can expose useful questions, but do not replace an available primary source.
How references are used
A bibliography sets the evidence boundary of a guide; a broad reference does not automatically validate every species range or numerical claim. New work aims to link the exact paper, species record or manual, record when it was consulted and label stated data separately from editorial interpretation.
Requesting a correction
Send the URL, the exact passage, why it may be wrong and a source that can be checked. We review the whole context. If the issue changes the decision offered to readers, the content and review date are corrected.
What can be corrected
Factual errors, units, broken links, attribution and ambiguous explanations are corrected. Reasonable differences in judgement are identified as such; documented conclusions are not changed in exchange for products, payment or commercial pressure.
