Bubblepedia Editorial Policy

Evidence and attribution

We prioritise primary documents, official statistics, regulatory and central-bank publications, company filings, academic research and reputable reporting. Encyclopedia entries cross-reference historical scholarship. Sources should support the particular claim being made, not merely discuss the same broad topic.

Numbers, dates, names and quotations must be traceable to the supplied evidence. We use ranges when historical estimates are disputed, preserve the units and dates of statistics, and distinguish observed facts from Bubblepedia’s interpretation. An attributed primary or reputable major-outlet source may support a focused analysis where a second independent publisher is unavailable; we do not treat syndicated copies as independent confirmation.

Scope and original analysis

Entries explain the origins, financing, peak conditions, collapse or unresolved risks of one speculative episode. Analysis should cover one event and add useful context through evidence-backed historical parallels, cycle mechanics or clearly shown calculations. We avoid unrelated headlines, repetitive roundups and padding. Contemporary cases are labelled as developing conditions rather than settled historical outcomes.

AI assistance and verification

Analysis articles use AI-assisted research and writing with editorial oversight. Historical encyclopedia entries are editorially curated. Automated factual review is separate from drafting; unsupported claims must be corrected or removed and checked again. A disclaimer is not a substitute for verification. Drafts that fail factual or source checks remain unpublished.

Titles, summaries, takeaways and FAQs must remain consistent with the article’s evidence. Links guide readers to the relevant original sources and encyclopedia context; they are not evidence for claims that those pages do not support.

Updates and corrections

Entries can be revised when new evidence appears or an error is identified. Existing topic coverage is updated rather than needlessly duplicated. Article publication dates identify the original publication; modification dates reflect editorial changes, not routine data refreshes. Dashboard readings carry their own source and refresh dates, which do not guarantee new source observations.

To request a correction, contact us with the page address, disputed passage and supporting source. We assess the evidence before changing a claim. Historical parallels illustrate mechanisms, not a guarantee that the same outcome will recur.

Independence and disclosures

Bubblepedia may earn referral commissions from disclosed affiliate links. These do not determine editorial conclusions, and sponsored-only material is not an acceptable factual basis for analysis. Read the affiliate disclosure and financial disclaimer. Nothing on Bubblepedia constitutes financial, investment or legal advice.
