What needs to leave your desk?

Use search and research tools to find evidence before drafting. A cited answer is a lead to inspect, and a polished article still needs original value, accurate claims and a clear reader task.

Research a reader's question on the web

Open the cited primary pages, note their dates and keep claims within what the sources actually support.
