Goldie

Editorial policy

Goldie works in a YMYL niche (the health of living creatures). Every piece runs through a fixed pipeline to keep it accurate and current.

Publishing cycle

  1. Brief. The editor sets the structure, keywords, target audience and source list.
  2. Draft. The author writes from FishBase, Seriously Fish, peer-reviewed papers and personal experience. AI is used as an assistant for structuring and drafts, never published without a human edit.
  3. Ichthyologist review. A qualified expert checks the facts, Latin names and numbers (temperature, pH, gH, volume, sizes). The reviewer is named on the page.
  4. Edit. Final style and structure pass, internal linking, FAQ and extended metadata.
  5. Publish. The piece is stamped with a publish date and a last-updated date.
  6. Maintenance. Every 6–12 months we re-evaluate the piece for accuracy and refresh it if needed.

Sources

Every long guide ships with a sources list — direct links and date of access. We favor primary sources (peer-reviewed literature, FishBase, aquarium society databases) and clearly mark when we draw on practical experience.

Use of artificial intelligence

AI is used during research and drafting. Before publishing, the piece goes through human editing and expert fact-checking. We disclose this openly because Google Search and AdSense reward people-first content, not auto-generated pages.
