Editorial policy

Meridian and Mile aims to make map-related ideas clear without making the subject seem simpler than it is. We explain our reasoning, correct errors openly and keep editorial choices separate from paid arrangements.

Accuracy and clarity

We check factual details against suitable reference material before publication and explain terms in context. Where a map or geographic question has more than one reasonable interpretation, we say so rather than presenting one reading as universal.

Independence

Editorial decisions are made for readers, not partners. A paid relationship does not guarantee coverage, a favourable view or control over an editorial conclusion.

Corrections

If you spot an error or an unclear passage, contact us with the page title and the detail in question. We review correction requests and update material when needed, making significant changes clear to readers.

Partner material and illustrations

Paid or partner-supported material is labelled so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial content. Some illustrations may be AI-generated; when used, they are identified as such and are not presented as documentary evidence.

Our point of view

A map is a view, not the whole place.

We make map choices easier to notice: what is shown, what is simplified and how a reader can make sense of the result.
