Editorial Policy

How Qvantor chooses topics, checks claims, names writers, dates articles and handles corrections and commercial links.

The promise behind the site

Anyone can claim to be careful. This page sets out what careful means at Qvantor in enough detail that you can check whether we keep to it.

The names on the work

You can always see who wrote a page and what else they have put their name to. That traceability is deliberate, and it is why nothing here goes out unsigned.

Ilkka Varis, Infrastructure editor. Ilkka has run mail servers for small companies since the days of hand edited DNS zones.

Marisa Quan, Games and networks writer. Marisa hosts game servers for her friends and writes about latency, uptime and the people who keep servers alive.

Obi Nwachukwu, Security writer. Obi works on account security and explains phishing, passwords and access in plain terms.

What we will not publish

  • Guarantees. Nobody in this field can honestly offer one.
  • Filler written to occupy a topic rather than to answer it.
  • Anything we would be embarrassed to defend in person.

Dating and updates

We treat dates as facts, not decoration. Refreshing a page to look current without changing its substance is a small lie we would rather not tell, so we do not touch the date unless the content genuinely moved.

Choosing what to cover

We keep a running list of questions readers send us, plus questions we had ourselves and could not find a straight answer to. A topic gets written when it appears on that list more than once.

The drafting process

  1. The writer collects what they already know and marks the parts they cannot support.
  2. Those parts are checked against a primary source, an operator document, or direct experience.
  3. What survives step two goes into the draft. What does not is cut.
  4. A second person reads the draft for claims that sound firmer than the evidence behind them.

Yes, some outbound links pay. What they pay for is the hosting bill, not the wording of the assessment sitting next to them.

If a partner asks us to remove a criticism, the answer is no, and the request itself may end up mentioned in a future article.

Corrections

Write to info@qvantor.space with the page address and what is wrong. Factual errors are fixed quickly. If the correction changes the conclusion of a piece, we add a short note at the foot of the page rather than quietly editing it.
