Editorial Policy

Content Purpose

LikeMyth publishes educational reference guides about world mythology, folklore, legendary creatures, gods, goddesses, symbols, and recurring story patterns. All content is written for general readers, students, teachers, writers, and editors.

Our guides are not academic papers, religious texts, legal advice, medical guidance, or substitutes for community-led interpretation of living traditions.

Accuracy Standards

• Each guide identifies major source paths and names the version it follows rather than claiming a single authoritative retelling.
• We prefer cautious wording such as “in this source,” “in many versions,” and “traditions vary” when evidence is layered or region-specific.
• We separate ancient texts, later literature, oral tradition, museum evidence, modern reception, and living religious context where possible.
• Misconception sections are included to help readers distinguish between modern media, popular summaries, and older evidence.
• Cross-cultural comparisons name both overlaps and differences and do not treat resemblance as proof that every culture tells one identical story.

Source Verification

Each guide includes a sources section listing the references used in writing and reviewing that page. Preferred sources include:

• Primary or near-primary texts with accessible translations.
• Museum and library records for objects, images, and historical context.
• Established encyclopedias and peer-reviewed scholarship for definitions and chronology.
• Community-led public sources for living and Indigenous traditions when available.

External links are provided so readers can verify claims and continue their own research. See our Source Policy for full details.

Review Process

Each page review checks:

• Whether the title accurately matches the page content.
• Whether the topic is placed in the correct cultural tradition.
• Whether sensitive subjects are framed without spectacle or sensationalism.
• Whether the source links still support the claims being made.
• Whether version differences and common misconceptions are addressed.

Review dates shown on pages indicate the last content pass. They do not guarantee that every external source has remained unchanged since that date.

Update and Correction Practices

Pages may be updated, corrected, combined, redirected, or revised at any time. Common reasons for updates include:

• Reader-submitted corrections with supporting source evidence.
• Broken or outdated external links.
• Clearer wording for sensitive or complex topics.
• New source material or translation access.

Corrections are welcome at support@tcodestuido.com. Please include the page URL, the specific claim, and any supporting source, translation, regional, or community context.

Advertising Independence

If advertising or monetization tools are used on LikeMyth, they do not influence editorial conclusions, source selection, correction decisions, or the accuracy of any guide. Advertising is clearly separated from editorial content.
