Community Notes & Fact Checks
What Community Notes Are For
This field note is part of the FOBA learning stream. It is meant to orient readers and point toward better source work.
Key points
- Community Notes are for source-based context, respectful corrections, and open questions.
- They are reviewed before publication so private information and unsupported claims do not become public by default.
- A good note names the page, the claim, the source, and what should change.
Next steps
- Use a pseudonym if you want attribution.
- Do not include private information about living people.
- When the issue is larger than a note, submit a Fact Check request.
