Accuracy is the baseline. Context, transparency and corrections make it durable.
Sources and claims
We prioritise primary sources, identify uncertainty and do not invent facts, quotes, results or attribution. A statement made by a club remains an attributed claim until it is independently supported. “Official” must name the body that grants the status.
Disputed firsts and records
Claims such as “first”, “oldest”, “largest”, “only” or “official” receive additional scrutiny. We look for dated contemporary evidence and actively search for earlier or competing claims. The absence of evidence found by us is not proof that no earlier venue existed.
Verification
We distinguish confirmed results from statements made by organisers, venues or individuals. We publish supported information and keep outstanding research in our private editorial records.
Independence and language
Sponsorship cannot dictate editorial conclusions. The initial publication language is English; future Thai translations require human review.
