How MeteorGazer reviews, updates, and corrects its meteor shower content.

How Content Is Managed

MeteorGazer publishes a mix of evergreen planning pages, time-sensitive updates, and historical reports. This policy explains how those content types are handled so users can understand what is current, what is archived, and how corrections are made.

Content Types

Evergreen planning pages

Pages such as tonight, calendar, prediction, and core observation guides are maintained as long-term reference pages.

Time-sensitive updates

Shorter updates are published when a specific active period, annual event, or observation window needs timely context.

Historical reports

Past-year observations and event reports are kept as archives and should not be treated as current planning pages.

How Content Is Reviewed

  • •Core planning pages are checked when annual shower dates, priorities, or guidance need revision.
  • •High-traffic pages are reviewed first when wording, links, or clarity issues are found.
  • •Time-sensitive updates are checked again if their context changes before or during the active window.

How Corrections Are Handled

  • •Clear factual issues such as dates, links, labels, and broken page references are corrected directly.
  • •If a correction changes planning advice, the revised page should reflect the newer guidance instead of leaving the old wording in place.
  • •Users can report issues through the contact channels listed on the site.

How Archived Content Is Treated

  • •Past-year forecast and report pages stay available when they still have reference value.
  • •Archived pages should not replace evergreen planning pages for current viewing decisions.
  • •When a historical page is no longer useful, it should be merged, redirected, or removed from active indexing.

Editorial Principles

  • •Write for practical observation decisions, not to fill pages with generic astronomy text.
  • •Keep page titles, descriptions, and visible content aligned with what the page actually provides.
  • •Separate current planning guidance from past event coverage.
  • •Prefer direct, concrete wording over promotional or exaggerated language.
