Content publishing
Make a publication checklist for one article
Go through the article and list every claim, then record its support. Check permissions, label each example as hypothetical or real, and open every link. Name one person who gives final approval so the checks have an owner.
A text to start with
Here is an article draft for [audience]: [draft text]. Build a publication checklist for this article. List each factual claim with the source I have for it, any quotes or images needing permission, examples that need a hypothetical or real label, and every link to test. Include captions, tables and metadata. Ask me where a source is missing.
Example request. Change the details to fit your situation.One-article publication checklist
Article title and draft version: [ ] Final approver: [ ] Claim: [ ] Where it appears (body, caption, table, metadata): [ ] Source and what it says: [ ] Checked by and date: [ ] Quote or image and its source: [ ] Basis for reuse: [ ] Permission required: [yes / no / unresolved] Permission status, if needed: [ ] Who checked the reuse basis: [ ] Example: [ ] Labeled as hypothetical or real: [ ] Link URL: [ ] Works and supports the claim? [ ] Open items before publishing: [ ]
Claims outside the body text
Check captions, tables and metadata as well as the paragraphs. A caption may state a date or a name; a table may contain figures without a source; a description may promise an answer absent from the article. Label hypothetical examples clearly. Record the source and basis for reusing quotes or images, then obtain permission where required. A working link may still lead to a page that no longer supports the claim, so read the relevant passage.
Ask another agent to check the result
Find assertions that no one has checked. Read captions, table cells, headings, the page title and any description or metadata separately from the body. List each statement found there with the nearest source I gave, or mark it unsupported.
Close the open items
Resolve the open rows with a source, a rewrite or a deletion. Where an item requires permission, obtain it before including that item. Test links in the final version and check that titles and descriptions still match. Record who approved publication and when, and keep the checklist with the article for later updates.
