Teazle
Editorial policy
How Teazle sources facts, chooses images, uses AI and corrects mistakes.
Sources
Every factual claim on Teazle is backed by a source listed at the end of the piece: a museum catalogue record, a scholarly book or article, or a reputable publication. We follow encyclopaedia articles back to the sources they cite rather than relying on them alone. Dates, attributions and names are checked against at least two independent sources; where sources disagree, we say so in the text.
We write in our own words. Quotations are short, in quotation marks, attributed and linked, and used only when the wording itself matters.
Images
We prefer images released by museums and libraries under open-access terms (CC0 or public domain), then openly licensed images with full attribution. Faithful reproductions of public-domain two-dimensional works are credited to the holding institution. We do not use agency, runway, red-carpet or celebrity photography, and we do not embed social media posts. Every image lists its holder, licence and source; the complete list is on the image credits page.
Artificial intelligence
Teazle uses AI (Anthropic’s Claude) to help research, draft and check pieces. A human editor reviews and approves every piece before publication and is responsible for it. AI-generated illustrations are used only for conceptual images, never to depict real garments, people or artworks as if they were documentation, and they are always labelled “AI-generated illustration”.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it and add a dated note at the end of the piece describing what changed. Send corrections to hello@teazle.art with the page address and, if you can, a source. Minor typographical fixes are made without a note.
Independence
Teazle carries no advertising and accepts no payment for coverage. If that ever changes, paid or affiliated content will be clearly labelled.
