Editorial Guidelines

Updated: 7 September 2026

Cecilia Prize publishes international dating guidance for adults aged 18 and over. These standards apply to writing, translation, illustrations, commercial material and corrections. Articles should answer a reader’s question with clear reasoning and useful examples, without promising a relationship or inventing an experience.

Evidence and authorship

Check factual claims against reliable sources, giving priority to original documents, official guidance and the provider responsible for a stated feature. Distinguish confirmed facts from opinion, inference and a provider’s own advertising. Link to supporting material where it helps a reader assess a claim.

Articles identify their editorial byline. Content attributed to Cecilia Prizenko must use that name consistently. A byline does not justify invented qualifications, professional status, personal testing, interviews or relationship experience. Quotes and testimonials require a real, attributable source and appropriate permission.

Scope and tone

Write in a respectful, practical tone. Explain differences between service fees, personal payments, compatibility and safety without treating nationality or appearance as evidence of character. Avoid pressure, guaranteed outcomes, manufactured urgency and advice that substitutes for a qualified professional’s assessment.

Describe the features a service actually provides. A guide discussing profiles or messaging must not imply that those functions operate on Cecilia Prize merely because the subject appears in an article.

Translation and AI assistance

AI tools may assist research organization, drafting, translation or illustration. Assisted material requires editorial review for accuracy, meaning, sources, tone and rights before publication. Responsibility remains with whoever approves the content; a tool is not an independent source or a qualified expert.

Translations should preserve the original meaning and relevant limitations. Stock and generated images must not be presented as real members or testimonials. Hypothetical examples must remain distinguishable from reported events.

Commercial independence and corrections

Material commercial connections require a clear disclosure near the affected content. Sponsorship cannot buy an unsupported conclusion. The Advertiser Disclosure, Affiliate Disclosure and No Gift Policy set the relevant standards.

Correct confirmed errors and explain significant changes where the earlier version could mislead readers. A publication or update date should reflect actual editorial activity. For a correction concern, consult the Contact page for published contact information and identify the passage and supporting evidence.
