Methods, sources and corrections

Made together with Nova

The site is built with help from AI colleague Nova, supporting writing, organisation and development. AI can make mistakes, misunderstand sources or state things too confidently. A reference therefore does not mean every sentence in a long dossier has been independently checked.

Kreta Kroniek presents itself as a growing enthusiast’s guide. An author or organisation credit on this site does not imply a professional historical, medical or linguistic qualification.

Where information comes from

For historical subjects, we look to archaeological services, museums, research institutions and original documents. For practical access information, we prefer the responsible body or operator. For language topics, we refer where appropriate to the Greek school grammar.

A source guide explains what a source was used for. Viewing questions, tasting exercises, recipe variants and learning strategies are often our own editorial suggestions. A myth, an archaeological interpretation and a directly documented fact do not automatically have equal evidential weight.

What a review date means

A date beside an addition applies to the subjects specified there. It does not mean that all older chapters, external links or future opening hours have been rechecked. The new source guides therefore state the scope of each review.

Opening hours, tickets, transport services and access conditions can change. Use current official information for your visit. A dated notice in our guide is a snapshot, not a live service.

Reading images and maps

AI illustrations are mood images or artistic interpretations when labelled as such. They do not prove what a historic place looked like. A map marker helps orientation; it does not confirm an entrance, passable path or permission to enter land.

Language learning and CEFR

Our level labels are editorial estimates of lesson content. Checkpoints combine exercises with self-reflection and do not provide an official CEFR certificate. Pronunciation guides are approximate; audio distinguishes existing recordings from synthetic voices.

Reporting a correction or addition

Use the contact form and include the page URL, the relevant passage and your proposed correction. A reliable source or your own dated observation helps with assessment. Do not include a password or other account secrets.

Submissions are not published automatically. A substantive change may lead to an updated source guide or note. The milestones in the admin describe website updates; they are not a complete public log of every text change.
