Clear provenance is more useful than a false tone of certainty.
Dates, credits, running times, release versions and production claims are factual assertions. When they matter to an argument we prefer first-party or authoritative sources and link them in context. Description of a visible scene is separated from claims about why it was made.
For releases we prioritize distributors, festivals, venues, rights holders and production pages. For films we use official credits and established film institutions. A secondary report may add context, but repetition does not make it a primary source.
Material errors are corrected on the article itself. Time-sensitive premiere information receives a dated update when the practical answer changes; an update date is not changed merely to make an old page look fresh.
Predictions are labelled editorial scenarios built from visible assumptions. We do not invent odds, promise sporting or box-office outcomes, or write a forecast as if it already happened.
Local editorial images retain source or photographer credits on the image-credits page. Quotations should be brief and necessary; source material is summarized rather than republished.
English, Russian and Japanese editions are edited separately, with translations linked when they are available.
A new article must add a viewing method, a verified fact pattern, an original comparison or another concrete editorial reason to exist. A page is not published merely because a phrase can be searched.
