How we prepare articles

We begin with a concrete reader question and check it against the existing journal so that a new article adds a distinct route rather than repeating a title. Search wording helps us understand the question; it does not determine the answer.

• Define the decision or misconception the article must resolve.
• Map the new material to an appropriate guide and related articles.
• Separate technical guidance, historical evidence and brand interpretation.

Technical claims are checked against manuals, standards and documentation from the manufacturer of the exact movement or watch. Historical claims use museum, archive and institutional sources where available. Secondary summaries do not overrule a primary source.

• Sources appear on the public article page.
• A model-specific manual takes priority over a universal rule of thumb.
• Tradition, inference and disputed accounts are labelled rather than presented as fact.

Current reference articles are authored and technically edited by the named editorial team. Its profile describes scope and limitations. When an individual author or invited watchmaker contributes, the article names that person and their role only with a genuine contribution and an agreed credit.

• No invented names or implied expert endorsement.
• Publisher, author and reviewer are treated as separate roles.
• Commercial involvement, if relevant to a conclusion, must be disclosed in the article.

The English edition is edited for English-language readers rather than published as an unreviewed literal export. Measurements, terminology, links, canonical addresses and hreflang pairs are checked in both versions. The two editions should make the same factual claims.

• English articles use English-language URLs.
• Each language switch keeps the reader on the paired article or guide.
• A material correction is applied to both languages.

Every article owns its dateModified value. We change it only after a substantive revision: a corrected factual claim, new primary evidence, an expanded explanation or a meaningful change to operating guidance. A spelling fix, styling change or site-wide release does not refresh every article.

• Publication date remains the original publication date.
• The visible update date, metadata, structured data and sitemap use the same article record.
• If a change alters the conclusion, the article should explain the correction.

Readers can report an error at info@bebeshin.ru with the article address, disputed passage and a supporting source. We review the primary evidence, update both language editions when needed and change the individual revision date only after the correction is published.

• Use the email subject “Journal correction”.
• Urgent safety-related errors are prioritised.
• A disagreement without sufficient evidence is recorded for review rather than silently resolved.
