Submission Review Desk

A static review center for keeping community submissions useful and trustworthy.

Before a full CMS exists, this page documents what editors should review, how to route items, and how to preserve trust.

Review priorities

Every submission should pass basic trust checks.

v19 keeps the workflow lightweight, but it gives editors a clear standard: local relevance, clear source, accurate details, civil tone, and proper category placement.

  1. Confirm who submitted it and how they can be reached.
  2. Verify the date, time, place, and public-facing details.
  3. Check whether it is editorial, civic, commercial, sponsored, or promotional.
  4. Rewrite for clarity while preserving the submitter’s intent.
  5. Decide whether to publish, hold, request clarification, or decline.
