Our Editorial Standards
Play Inky publishes content for readers who expect accurate, useful, and clearly-sourced information. This page describes how we research, write, review, and update what you read here.
How We Source Information
Articles on Play Inky are built on primary sources wherever possible: official documentation, manufacturer specifications, government regulations, peer-reviewed research, and firsthand expertise. Secondary sources are used to corroborate, never to substitute. Every claim that can be verified against a source is linked or cited inline.
Fact-Checking Process
Before publication, our editorial team reviews every article against the following checklist:
- All statistics, prices, and dates have a verifiable source published within the last 24 months
- Product specifications match the current manufacturer-published version
- Regulatory references match the most recent published code or rule
- Quotes are attributed and verified against the original transcript or document
- Affiliate links point to the product actually reviewed, not a substitute
Use of AI Tools
Play Inky uses AI tools in the same way modern newsrooms use spell-checkers, research assistants, and translation tools: as productivity aids under human editorial control. AI is not used to fabricate facts, generate quotes, or substitute for human research and review. Every published article is read, fact-checked, and edited by a human editor before going live.
Affiliate and Sponsorship Disclosure
Play Inky participates in affiliate programs including the Amazon Associates Program. When you click a product link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships never influence which products we cover or how we rate them. Sponsored content, when published, is clearly labeled as such at the top of the article.
Corrections Policy
We correct errors quickly and transparently. If you find a factual error, please email us via our Contact page. Corrections to substantive errors are noted at the bottom of the affected article with the date of the correction. Editorial revisions that do not change the meaning of the article (typos, formatting, broken links) are made without notice.
Updates and Republishing
We update older articles when underlying facts change — for example, when a product is discontinued, a regulation changes, or pricing shifts substantially. Updated articles display a “Last updated” date. Substantially rewritten articles are republished as new entries with the original archived.
Independence
Play Inky is an independent publication. We are not owned by, controlled by, or affiliated with any of the brands or organizations covered in our articles. Editorial decisions are made by our editorial team based on what we believe will be most useful to our readers.
