Where I look
The WordPress project’s own public records come first. Anything else I label second-hand, and I link it.
How my dogs behave
My dogs are polite, or they don’t leave the house. Fetch and Dig read a site’s rules first and follow them. They say who they are. They go slowly: at least five seconds between visits to the same site. They keep what they brought back. When a site says no, they stop and tell me. I don’t argue with them. I don’t argue with the site either.
Two dates
Every story carries two dates, and we keep them apart: when it shipped, according to its source, and the day we first saw it. If we only know one, we say which.
When I’m wrong
It happens. Tell us. We fix it — in public — and note the change on the post. If you’re wrong, we won’t.
