Editorial policy

Editorial Policy

These are the rules that decide whether a page belongs on the site at all: what counts as a proper explanation, which sources matter, how facts are checked, and why the project keeps its distance from hype.

On this page

What this page regulates

These are the rules that decide what gets published and what stays in production.

Source base

Primary sources

Official documentation, service rules, and direct step verification matter more than recycled summaries.

Tone

Anti-FOMO

No page should push the reader into urgency or emotional decisions.

Maintenance

Regular review

Core pages are revised when interfaces, risks, or procedures change.

No filler

This section is not here for legal padding. It explains how the project is built, where its responsibility stops, who it is for, and where to report a mistake or a weak point in the route.

StartCryptoGuide is not content for content’s sake. Every page must solve a specific beginner problem, lower the chance of an avoidable mistake, and fit into the route so the next step feels logical.

Core principles

Anti-hype

No pumps, no signal language, and no pressure in the style of ‘enter now before it is too late.’

Risk before upside

If a page pushes action but explains the cost of mistakes badly, it is built incorrectly.

Clear language

If the idea cannot be explained to a beginner without fog, the material is not edited well enough yet.

Practicality

Checklists, mistake scenarios, and step order matter more than pretty general statements.

What the material is built on

  • official documentation, service rules, and primary sources wherever possible;
  • step logic: what a beginner must understand before acting and what can go wrong;
  • a clear separation between facts, interpretation, and opinion;
  • calm editing without advertising language and without promises of outcomes.

How pages are updated

Core beginner pages are reviewed regularly. If interfaces, safety requirements, fees, restrictions, or the action order change, those materials should be rechecked first. The higher the cost of an error, the higher the update priority.

What should not appear on the site

  • trading signals and fake ‘inside information’;
  • promises of returns or magical strategies;
  • hidden promotion disguised as objective education;
  • instructions for bypassing laws, service rules, or security controls.

Editorial filter

If a page does not help a beginner think more clearly and only creates the impression of expertise, it does not belong in the production version of the project.

Next

Do not drift into random pages

If this is your first time in this section, the cleaner next step is not random browsing. Open the beginner route and move through the course in order.

Summary

This section exists to remove ambiguity

These are not random utility pages. Together they define the project boundary: who builds the site, how content is prepared, who it is meant for, and where the line sits between education and the user’s own decision.
