Editorial Policy

The route every article on greetingsday.site takes from idea to publication, and what we refuse to publish.

What this document is

Before you trust a word elsewhere on greetingsday.site, it is fair to know how those words get made. That is the entire purpose of this page.

What earns a page

A subject earns a page when somebody has asked about it twice, or when we went looking for the answer ourselves and came back empty handed.

Where money enters

Part of what keeps the lights on is commercial links. The verdict on a page is written first and does not bend to whether a link earns anything.

Nobody has ever bought the removal of a fair criticism here, and the ones who try mostly hand us the material for the next article.

Who signs the work

We attach a person to every article on purpose. It means a mistake costs the writer something, which is the strongest quality control a site this size has.

Mira Caldwell, Greetings editor. Mira has spent years helping people say the hard and happy things, and writes about finding the right words when your mind goes blank.

Theo Rowan, Holidays and traditions. Theo writes about the customs behind holidays and celebrations, and how to greet people across different occasions and cultures.

Ava Lindholm, Etiquette and tone. Ava focuses on the etiquette of messages, how tone, length, and wording change what a greeting actually conveys.

Things you will not find here

  • Claims about outcomes that nobody can verify.
  • Content produced only to fill a keyword slot.
  • Recommendations we would not give a friend who asked in person.

Dating and updates

We treat dates as facts, not decoration. Refreshing a page to look current without changing its substance is a small lie we would rather not tell, so we do not touch the date unless the content genuinely moved.

From notes to published page

  • Dump first. Everything the writer believes goes down, unsorted.
  • Mark the soft parts. Anything held on memory rather than evidence gets flagged.
  • Check or cut. A flagged claim is either supported or removed. There is no third option.
  • Second reader. Somebody else hunts for sentences that sound more certain than the evidence allows.

Putting things right

Corrections go to info@greetingsday.site. Include the address and the sentence. Anything factual is fixed without argument. Anything that changes what the article recommends gets a dated note underneath, so the change is visible.
