Editorial Standards Policy

1. Mission and Beneficial Purpose

Goldpedia's primary mission is to serve as a high-quality, independent educational resource for gold, silver, and precious metals investing globally.

My purpose is to empower users to make informed financial decisions by providing accurate, well-researched, and balanced information.

2. Editorial Independence and Accountability

• Sole Author and Controller: All content on Goldpedia is authored, edited, and fact-checked by Jordan McCaleb, Founder. I take full responsibility for the accuracy and integrity of all published material.

• Verification of Credentials: My expertise is based on Financial Markets from Yale University, Commodities and Hedging from Rutgers University, and Fundamentals of Finance from the University of Pennsylvania. My commitment is to maintaining and advancing this level of expertise.

• Fact-Checking: All key facts, figures, regulations (including IRS and tax codes), and market data are verified against primary authoritative sources before publication, as detailed in our References section.

3. Financial and Commercial Transparency

• Affiliate Disclosure: Goldpedia maintains an affiliate relationship with Augusta Precious Metals. This relationship is financial, but not editorial.

• Editorial Separation: Affiliate compensation never influences the factual content, educational analysis, or conclusions of any article. My content is written to benefit the reader, not the affiliate.

• No Personalized Advice: All information is for educational purposes only. Goldpedia does not provide personalized financial, investment, or tax advice.

4. Accuracy and Corrections Policy

I am committed to maintaining the highest level of accuracy and correcting errors quickly.

• Updates: Content related to financial data, laws, or market trends is reviewed and updated every 3 months or whenever significant regulatory changes occur.

• Corrections: If you find a factual error, please contact me immediately at jordan@goldirapedia.com. I will investigate and correct all verified errors promptly, with a transparent correction note added to the article.
