Editorial standards for market data, news, and guides

BA StarHub publishes cryptocurrency prices, market commentary, news summaries, and practical guides for readers comparing where and how to trade. We aim to keep published material transparent, source-led, and reviewable. This page explains how content is researched, drafted, checked, and corrected.

Source policy

  • We prefer primary or authoritative sources: exchange announcements, official project documents, regulatory releases, audited market data providers, on-chain analytics platforms, and named public records.
  • When a factual statement depends on a specific source, we identify that source in the article or add a clear reference. For breaking items, we note the source and the time of publication.
  • We summarize original material instead of reproducing it. If a direct quotation is necessary, we use only the shortest relevant excerpt and attribute it to the named person, firm, or organization.
  • We do not build articles around uncredited copies, social-media screenshots without corroboration, or reposts that hide the original context.
  • For price, volume, and market-cap claims, we state the relevant timeframe, trading pair or market, currency, and data basis where practical. If different providers show materially different figures, we say so and explain the likely cause.

AI assistance and boundaries

  • AI tools may assist with drafting, summarizing source material, organizing headings, improving readability, or preparing first versions of educational guides.
  • AI is not treated as a source of fact. Prices, dates, percentages, transaction counts, exchange features, regulatory status, and quoted statements must be checked against original sources before publication.
  • We do not publish fabricated data, invented quotes, made-up case studies, or unverified technical claims.
  • Where AI is used to simplify complex topics, human editors confirm that the wording remains accurate, neutral, and does not imply guaranteed outcomes.

Human review rules

  • Each article is reviewed by an editor before publication. The reviewer is responsible for checking sourcing, numbers, timestamps, units, risk language, and whether analysis is clearly separated from reported facts.
  • Guides about buying, selling, trading, or using wallets and exchanges are reviewed for practical accuracy. Editors check whether steps, fees, identity verification requirements, network choices, and withdrawal conditions are current enough for the article scope.
  • Content is returned for revision or rejected when it relies on anonymous rumor, lacks a source for a material claim, uses exaggerated certainty, omits important risk information, or copies another publication too closely.
  • Opinion and market interpretation are allowed. They must identify assumptions, uncertainties, and relevant counterpoints rather than presenting speculation as fact.

Corrections process

  • Readers can report suspected errors through the site contact page. Please include the article URL, the statement in question, the reason it appears wrong, and a reliable source if available.
  • We aim to acknowledge useful reports within three business days. Urgent issues that could cause financial harm, such as incorrect withdrawal instructions or false exchange claims, are reviewed faster.
  • If a material error is confirmed, we correct the content promptly and add an editor note when the change affects meaning. The note states what was changed and when.
  • Minor grammar or formatting fixes may be made without a public note unless they change interpretation. Superseded market updates are timestamped or followed up rather than silently rewritten where possible.
  • We do not remove published material to avoid criticism. If an article is withdrawn because it is misleading or unusable, we state the reason where appropriate.
