Editorial Policy

Scope

This policy applies to public Spin the Wheel tool guides, educational articles, template explanations, and factual statements about product behavior. Legal policies remain governed by their own text.

Byline and review date

Content is published under the real organizational byline Spin the Wheel Editorial Team. We do not invent personal authors, credentials, testing laboratories, customer stories, or endorsements. A visible review date indicates when an editor last checked the page's product instructions and material factual claims; it does not promise that every external fact will remain unchanged.

Product verification

Instructions are checked against the current interface and, where appropriate, the implementation. Editors verify that the described slices, editing controls, optional weights, winner-removal behavior, save and share flows, multiple-wheel controls, MusicXML support, and verified-spin limitations match the product. A page must not claim a hidden rigging mode, guaranteed fairness, offline public-key verification, or a feature the product does not provide.

Sources

For external claims, we prefer original research, government agencies, standards bodies, official documentation, official competition sites, and official game or media pages. Secondary sources may help identify a topic but should not be the only basis for a consequential claim. We link to the source near the relevant statement when that source is useful to readers.

Claims that cannot be verified are removed, narrowed, clearly attributed, or rewritten as general guidance. We do not copy competitor pages, wikis, reviews, or copyrighted articles into our templates.

High-risk topics

Pages involving raffles, sweepstakes, gambling-like simulations, passwords, cryptocurrency, fundraising, or prizes receive explicit limits. A general wheel does not certify legal compliance, secure a cryptocurrency account, generate professional security advice, or replace published eligibility rules. Promotional codes, rankings, user totals, and safety claims are excluded unless a current first-party source directly supports them and the claim materially helps the reader.

People-first and search standards

Keywords describe each page's distinct purpose; they do not justify repetitive or misleading pages. Each canonical page has one primary search topic, descriptive headings, visible answers, and links chosen for reader relevance. We avoid keyword stuffing, fabricated experience, mass-replaced boilerplate, hidden text, and structured data that is not represented by visible content.

AI-assisted drafting

Automation or AI may help organize an outline, identify duplicated phrases, generate validation reports, or prepare a draft. An editor remains responsible for checking instructions, sources, claims, disclosures, links, and page-specific usefulness before publication. AI output is not treated as a factual source.

Accessibility and privacy review

Tool guidance should not rely on color alone, should acknowledge motion and sound preferences, and should suggest an alternative when an animated interface is unsuitable. Privacy guidance discourages entering or sharing unnecessary personal information, especially in classrooms and public events.

Corrections and updates

We correct material errors rather than silently defending outdated wording. Product changes trigger a new interface review. Time-sensitive external facts are dated or removed when they no longer serve the page's continuing purpose. Substantial reviews update the displayed review date; minor spelling changes may not.

Contact

To request a correction, use the website support option and provide the page address, the disputed statement, and a primary source when available.
