Community Review Roles – Reader, Contributor, Reviewer

Overview

Community review works better when roles are clear. A reader learns and asks questions. A contributor shares source leads or context safely. A reviewer checks claims against sources and site standards before public wording gets stronger.

What this helps you learn

  • Readers should be able to tell what a page supports and what remains open.
  • Contributors should know how to protect living people and submit source leads.
  • Reviewers should use evidence labels, claim status, source trails, and recommended wording.

Careful claims

  • Do not pressure readers into public disclosure.
  • Do not publish contributor claims without review.
  • Do not let reviewers strengthen sensitive wording without source support.

Research path

  • Point readers to Start Here and Safe Sharing.
  • Point contributors to Community Notes and Fact Check.
  • Point reviewers to Source Review, Editorial Standards, Evidence Gates, and Corrections Log.

Evidence note: This starter entry is educational. Add sources, dates, maps, Community Notes, and Fact Checks as research develops.
