    Yeah I was reading about the editing guidelines and they have a principle that surprised me at first:

    Verifiability, not truth.

    Basically, you could edit an article with information you know is true (like your bedrooms or fireplaces), but truth is not the criteria that edits get tested upon. It must be verifiable by a source.

    Pretty cool that you didn’t just give up and actually got the local newspaper to interview you! That’s awesome!
