Editorial & Review Standards

1. Our Editorial Philosophy

At NumerologyName, our editorial mission is to treat numerology as a fascinating historical, linguistic, and philosophical discipline rather than an oracle of supernatural prophecy. We provide users with transparent mathematical calculation engines accompanied by clear, thoughtful educational guides.

We strictly avoid clickbait, fabricated statistics, stolen competitor articles, and fear-based psychological coercion.

2. Canonical Historical References

Every calculation methodology implemented on this website is cross-referenced against established canonical literature:

• Chaldean Numerology System: Grounded in the works of Cheiro (William John Warner), notably Cheiro's Book of Numbers (1926), which documents ancient Babylonian phonetic valuations (1 to 8), the exclusion of 9 from base letters, and compound number archetypes 10 through 52.
• Pythagorean Western System: Derived from classical Greek arithmetic traditions documented by Nicomachus of Gerasa (c. 100 CE) in Introduction to Arithmetic, alongside 20th-century syntheses by Florence Campbell (Your Days Are Numbered, 1931) establishing modern sequential 1–9 Western matrices and Soul Urge/Personality reductions.
• Chinese Lo Shu Grid: Based on historical cosmological literature from the I Ching (Book of Changes) and ancient Han Dynasty texts detailing the 3x3 mathematical magic square associated with Emperor Yu and the Luo River.

3. Multi-Step Review & Verification Process

Before any calculator or guide is published on NumerologyName, it undergoes a three-stage verification process:

1. Mathematical & Algorithmic Audit: Every calculation formula is validated with unit test suites to confirm that letter assignments, intermediate sums, and digital reductions produce correct results under edge cases (hyphenated names, spaces, international characters, Master Numbers 11/22/33).
2. Historical Accuracy Review: Educational explanations are reviewed to ensure that traditions are represented faithfully without conflating conflicting systems (e.g., keeping Chaldean and Pythagorean tables strictly separated).
3. Web Accessibility & Usability Inspection: Pages are tested for WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, keyboard navigation, color contrast, and screen-reader friendliness.

4. Genuine Authorship & Attribution

We do not create fictional personas, fake "Dr." titles, or stock photo profiles to manufacture false authority. Our tools and articles are researched, written, and maintained by an independent editorial and engineering team dedicated to open web standards and cultural esotericism.

When guest researchers or specialized contributors write articles for our blog, their genuine name, background, and perspective are clearly credited on the published page.

5. Corrections & Feedback Policy

We are committed to correcting factual or algorithmic errors swiftly. If you discover a calculation discrepancy, typographical mistake, or ambiguous historical reference, please notify us immediately through our Contact Page with relevant details. We review and process valid corrections within 48 business hours.
