1. Our Editorial Purpose

FreeWishes exists to help people:

• find the right words,
• remember important moments,
• discover meaningful wishes and quotes,
• understand upcoming festivals and special days,
• create personalised messages,
• and share thoughtful content with others.

Our editorial approach is guided by:

• usefulness,
• clarity,
• relevance,
• cultural sensitivity,
• accuracy,
• originality,
• and respect for intellectual-property rights.

2. Types of Content We Publish

FreeWishes may publish:

• Wishes
• Greetings
• Quotes
• Captions
• Festival information
• Special-day information
• Baby-name information
• Articles
• Creative messages
• Greeting-card content
• Search suggestions
• Educational and informational content
• AI-assisted content
• Other related material

Different content types may require different editorial standards.

3. Original Content

Where possible, FreeWishes aims to create original content specifically for its users.

This may include:

• Wishes
• Greetings
• Relationship-specific messages
• Captions
• Descriptions
• Articles
• Festival explanations
• User-interface copy
• Creative content

Original content may be:

• written by editors,
• developed internally,
• generated with AI assistance,
• or refined from editorial drafts.

AI assistance does not remove the need for human editorial review where appropriate.

4. Editorial Review

Content may be reviewed for:

• Relevance
• Clarity
• Grammar
• Tone
• Accuracy
• Cultural appropriateness
• Duplication
• Attribution
• Copyright concerns
• User usefulness
• Potential harm

The level of review may vary depending on the nature of the content.

5. Wishes and Greetings

Wishes and greetings are creative content.

We aim to make them:

• natural,
• emotionally appropriate,
• relationship-specific where relevant,
• easy to personalise,
• suitable for the intended occasion.

We avoid intentionally publishing material that is:

• hateful,
• discriminatory,
• abusive,
• exploitative,
• or clearly inappropriate for the intended occasion.

6. Quotes

Quotes require additional care because attribution may be uncertain.

We aim to:

• verify attribution where reasonably possible,
• avoid confidently assigning authorship where evidence is weak,
• label uncertain attribution appropriately,
• correct errors when discovered.

Where appropriate, attribution may use wording such as:

• “Attributed to”
• “Often attributed to”
• “Traditional”
• “Author unknown”

A quote being widely repeated online does not automatically make its attribution reliable.

7. Festival and Calendar Information

Festival and observance information may vary by:

• region,
• religion,
• tradition,
• time zone,
• local authority,
• lunar calculations,
• community practice.

We aim to use reliable references where practical.

However, users should verify important dates through local or authoritative sources when exact timing is important.

8. Baby-Name Information

Baby-name content may include:

• meanings,
• origins,
• cultural associations,
• pronunciation,
• related names.

Name meanings can vary between:

• languages,
• regions,
• transliterations,
• traditions,
• historical sources.

We aim to present such information carefully and avoid overstating uncertain interpretations.

9. Cultural and Religious Sensitivity

FreeWishes serves users from different:

• cultures,
• religions,
• regions,
• languages,
• traditions.

We aim to present cultural and religious content respectfully.

We do not intend to:

• favour one tradition unfairly,
• present disputed beliefs as universal facts,
• mock or demean religious or cultural practices.

Where interpretation varies, we may use neutral wording.

10. Factual Accuracy

We aim to make reasonable efforts to verify factual information.

However, FreeWishes is a broad content platform and errors may occasionally occur.

When reliable evidence shows that content is materially inaccurate, we may:

• correct it,
• update it,
• add context,
• change attribution,
• or remove it.

11. Sources

Depending on the content, FreeWishes may consult:

• Official sources
• Government websites
• Recognised institutions
• Reputable reference materials
• Historical sources
• Published works
• Public-domain resources
• Established cultural references
• Other credible sources

Not every creative page requires formal citation.

Where factual accuracy is especially important, stronger sourcing may be used.

12. Source Quality

We aim to prefer sources that are:

• authoritative,
• relevant,
• current,
• verifiable,
• appropriate to the subject.

User-generated websites, unattributed quote collections and low-quality aggregators may be treated cautiously.

13. Content Attribution

Where third-party material is used and attribution is appropriate, FreeWishes aims to:

• identify the creator where reasonably known,
• avoid misleading attribution,
• distinguish original content from third-party material.

Attribution does not replace the need for a lawful basis to use copyrighted material.

14. Copyright and Intellectual Property

FreeWishes respects copyright and other intellectual-property rights.

Editorial teams and automated workflows should avoid knowingly publishing:

• substantial copyrighted book excerpts,
• song lyrics,
• copyrighted poetry,
• protected artwork,
• unauthorised images,
• other third-party material without an appropriate legal basis.

Further details are available in our Copyright & Content Policy.

15. Fair Use and Fair Dealing

Where third-party content is used under concepts such as:

• Fair use
• Fair dealing
• Quotation
• Commentary
• Criticism
• Review
• Educational exceptions

the editorial team should consider whether the specific use is legally appropriate.

FreeWishes does not treat an “educational” label as automatic permission to reproduce copyrighted works.

16. AI-Assisted Editorial Work

FreeWishes may use artificial intelligence to assist with:

• Drafting
• Rewriting
• Ideation
• Translation
• Categorisation
• Metadata
• Search
• Content suggestions
• Creative messages
• Image generation

AI-assisted content may contain:

• factual errors,
• attribution errors,
• duplication,
• cultural mistakes,
• invented details.

Therefore, AI-generated material should not automatically be treated as verified fact.

Further details are available in our AI Content Policy.

17. Human Review of AI Content

Where AI-generated content involves higher factual, cultural or reputational risk, FreeWishes may apply additional human review.

Examples may include:

• Quote attribution
• Festival dates
• Religious information
• Historical facts
• Public figures
• Copyright-sensitive material
• Sensitive messages

18. Translations

FreeWishes may provide multilingual content.

Translations may be produced using:

• human translation,
• machine translation,
• AI-assisted translation,
• editorial review.

Because language can contain regional and cultural nuance, translations may occasionally differ from the intended meaning.

Users may report translation problems for correction.

19. Sensitive Content

Certain occasions require additional care, including:

• Condolences
• Bereavement
• Illness
• Religious events
• Personal loss
• Other sensitive situations

We aim to avoid content that trivialises or exploits such circumstances.

20. Personalisation

Some FreeWishes content may be personalised based on:

• relationship,
• tone,
• occasion,
• interests,
• saved preferences,
• user input.

Personalisation is intended to improve relevance, but users should still review content before sharing it.

21. Search and Recommendations

Search results and recommendations may be influenced by:

• Query relevance
• Content category
• Popularity
• Freshness
• User preferences
• Automated ranking
• Editorial curation

Ranking does not necessarily represent an editorial endorsement of one piece of content over another.

22. Corrections Policy

We welcome legitimate corrections.

Users may report:

• Factual errors
• Incorrect dates
• Incorrect quote attribution
• Translation problems
• Broken links
• Duplicate content
• Other editorial issues

Contact: [email protected]

Please include the relevant page URL where possible.

23. How Corrections Are Handled

Depending on the issue, FreeWishes may:

• Correct the content
• Update the page
• Change attribution
• Add context
• Remove the content
• Leave the content unchanged if the claim is unsupported

Minor editorial changes may be made without a formal correction notice.

For significant changes, additional clarification may be added where appropriate.

24. Content Updates

FreeWishes may periodically update content to reflect:

• New information
• Changed dates
• Improved wording
• User feedback
• Better sources
• Product changes
• Editorial improvements

Older pages may be updated even when the original publication date remains visible.

25. Editorial Independence

Editorial decisions should not be determined solely by:

• Advertisers
• Sponsors
• Affiliate partners
• Commercial partners

Advertising revenue does not automatically give advertisers control over FreeWishes editorial content.

26. Google AdSense and Advertising

FreeWishes may display advertisements through:

• Google AdSense
• Other advertising networks
• Sponsors
• Affiliate programs

Automated advertisements may appear next to editorial content.

The presence of an advertisement does not mean:

• FreeWishes endorses the advertiser,
• the advertiser influenced the editorial content,
• the advertised product has been independently reviewed.

27. Sponsored Content

If FreeWishes publishes content that is directly:

• Sponsored
• Paid for
• Advertorial
• Commercially commissioned

we aim to identify that relationship clearly where required.

Sponsored content should not be presented in a way that intentionally misleads users into believing it is independent editorial material.

28. Affiliate Content

Where FreeWishes uses affiliate links, a commercial relationship may exist.

Affiliate relationships should not determine factual accuracy or intentionally distort editorial recommendations.

Material affiliate relationships will be disclosed where appropriate.

29. Advertiser Influence

Advertisers do not have a general right to:

• Change editorial conclusions
• Remove lawful criticism
• Control quote attribution
• Alter festival information
• Override correction decisions

FreeWishes may nevertheless remove unlawful, inaccurate or inappropriate content regardless of advertising relationships.

30. User Feedback

User feedback may help us:

• improve content,
• identify errors,
• discover missing categories,
• improve search,
• improve accessibility,
• create new features.

Feedback does not automatically determine editorial decisions.

31. Content Removal Requests

Rights holders and affected individuals may request review or removal of content.

These requests are handled under our: Content Removal & Takedown Policy

Legitimate complaints may result in:

• correction,
• attribution changes,
• restriction,
• removal,
• or other appropriate action.

32. Editorial Complaints

If you believe content:

• Is inaccurate
• Is misleading
• Is culturally inappropriate
• Contains incorrect attribution
• Violates editorial standards

please contact: [email protected]

Provide the relevant page URL and an explanation of the issue.

33. Opinion and Creative Content

Not all FreeWishes content is factual.

Creative content such as:

• Wishes
• Captions
• Greetings
• Inspirational messages

may express emotion, style or opinion rather than objective fact.

Such content should not automatically be interpreted as factual advice.

34. No Guarantee of Universal Suitability

A message that is appropriate for one:

• culture,
• relationship,
• workplace,
• religion,
• family,

may not be appropriate for another.

Users should review creative content before sharing it.

35. Content Diversity

We aim to make FreeWishes useful to a broad audience.

Where practical, we may offer:

• different tones,
• relationship-specific content,
• culturally relevant options,
• regional variations,
• multilingual content.

We do not claim that every possible culture or community is represented equally.

36. Harmful and Unlawful Content

FreeWishes may remove or restrict material that is:

• Illegal
• Fraudulent
• Hateful
• Threatening
• Abusive
• Exploitative
• Defamatory
• Infringing
• Dangerous

where appropriate.

37. Duplicate and Low-Quality Content

FreeWishes may remove, merge or rewrite content that is:

• Repetitive
• Low quality
• Outdated
• Misleading
• Unhelpful
• Automatically generated without sufficient value

Our aim is to improve usefulness rather than maximise page count alone.

38. Editorial Quality and SEO

Search-engine optimisation may help users discover FreeWishes content.

SEO should not override:

• Accuracy
• User usefulness
• Readability
• Editorial quality
• Copyright considerations

Pages should be created primarily to serve users rather than solely to manipulate search rankings.

39. Automated Content Publishing

FreeWishes may use automated workflows to assist with publishing.

Automated publishing systems should be monitored and refined to reduce:

• factual errors,
• duplication,
• malformed pages,
• attribution problems,
• irrelevant content.

Where problems are discovered, content may be corrected or removed.

40. Editorial Responsibility

FreeWishes is responsible for maintaining reasonable editorial standards on content that we control.

Third-party advertisements, external websites and independent third-party services are outside our direct editorial control.

41. Content Archive and Removal

FreeWishes may archive or remove content because it is:

• Outdated
• Inaccurate
• Duplicate
• No longer useful
• Legally problematic
• Technically obsolete

We are not required to maintain every page indefinitely.

42. Public Figures

Content relating to public figures may include:

• Quotes
• Biographical information
• Historical references

We aim to avoid knowingly presenting false information.

If a material factual error is identified, we may correct it.

43. Editorial Transparency

Where useful, FreeWishes may provide:

• Publication dates
• Update dates
• Author or editorial information
• Sources
• AI-content disclosures
• Correction notices

The level of disclosure may vary depending on the type of page.

44. Changes to This Editorial Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect:

• Editorial process changes
• New content types
• New AI tools
