reason: "Three claims did not hold of the served site: the date claim was unscoped while privacy, contact and license print no date in any language; the page said nothing about where a correction record is kept or whether a reader can see one; and the preview cards the site builds are images a reader does see and no page names an author for, so 'there are no uncredited images here' was false"

## Who publishes this site

aaarticle.com is published by the **Media Division of CAC Company**. The division
is the site's editor and is answerable for everything on it.

**No page here carries a personal byline, because no person wrote one.** The pages
are drafted and reviewed by AI systems working to the division's editorial rules,
and then published under the division's name. We do not invent authors,
credentials, or review boards. What we can tell you about how a page was made is
on the [editorial policy](/editorial_policy) page.

## What is on it

| section | what it covers | pages per language |
|---|---|---|
| Home kitchen | buying guides and how-to answers for kitchen equipment | 350 |
| Tourism | destinations and the individual places inside them | 613 |
| History | regions, periods, people, events, organizations, art, and dress | 1,137 |

Every article, destination and history page exists in **English, Spanish,
Japanese, and Simplified Chinese**. A subject that cannot be published in all
four is not published at all, so the four editions describe the same site
rather than four different ones.

## What a page tells you about itself

- **Its picture is credited.** Every photograph on an article, destination or
  history page names its author, its licence, and the source file it came from,
  in the page's own source. **The preview cards the site builds for its own link
  lists and for sharing are the exception: they name no author yet.**
- **A correction is recorded with it.** Every article, destination and history
  page carries the date it was first published and the date it last changed. When
  a change corrects something the page said, what changed, why, and who asked is
  kept in the page's own source — with the page, rather than in a separate log
  that can drift away from it. **That record is not printed on the page yet, so
  the two dates are what you can see today.** Not every change is a correction: a
  replaced photograph, a rebuild or a translation pass moves the changed date and
  adds no record.
- **Articles, destinations and history pages keep their earlier versions.** Each
  published version is archived at `snapshot.aaarticle.com`, addressed by a
  checksum of its own bytes, so an earlier reading can be retrieved rather than
  argued about.

## Corrections

If something here is wrong, we want the correction. Write to
**contact@aaarticle.com** with the page and what is wrong with it. What happens
next — and how it becomes visible on the page — is on the
[editorial policy](/editorial_policy) page.

**This page was corrected.** Scoped the published and changed dates to articles, destinations and history pages; said the correction record is kept in the page's source and is not printed on the page yet; and scoped the picture credit to the photographs on those pages, naming the preview cards as the exception.

**Why.** Three claims did not hold of the served site: the date claim was unscoped while privacy, contact and license print no date in any language; the page said nothing about where a correction record is kept or whether a reader can see one; and the preview cards the site builds are images a reader does see and no page names an author for, so 'there are no uncredited images here' was false.

**Who asked.** The Media Division itself.
