BISONKB aims to publish accurate, useful and safe technical guidance for both end users and IT professionals. This policy describes the standards applied to new and revised articles.
Research and sources
Writers should begin with the reader’s actual problem and verify changeable facts against current, authoritative sources. Official vendor documentation, standards bodies, security advisories and primary technical references are preferred. Community sources may help identify symptoms but should not be the only basis for a consequential claim.
Accuracy and safe implementation
Commands, settings and procedures should be checked for syntax, version applicability, required privileges and foreseeable risk. Articles should identify important prerequisites, backups, service interruption, data-loss risk and rollback considerations. Unsupported workarounds must be clearly labelled.
Article structure
Each public article uses one visible H1 title. The body uses H2 and H3 headings in a logical order. Introductions answer the main question directly, and additional sections cover verification, procedure, expected result, limitations and troubleshooting only where relevant.
Use of automation and AI assistance
Automated tools may assist with drafting, formatting, classification or quality checks. They do not replace editorial responsibility. Material technical claims, commands and citations should be reviewed before publication, and generated reference markers or unsupported assertions must be removed.
Updates and dates
The publication date records when an article was first published. The updated date changes when a substantive revision is saved. Minor presentation changes may not require a content update. Time-sensitive articles should be reviewed when products, security guidance or vendor policies change.
Advertising and commercial influence
Advertising is kept separate from editorial decisions. Advertisers do not receive approval over independent technical content. Sponsorships, supplied products or affiliate relationships that could affect a reader’s assessment should be disclosed clearly.
Feedback and corrections
Readers can report unclear, incomplete or inaccurate information through the article feedback form. Substantive confirmed errors are corrected promptly under our Corrections Policy.
