Editorial Policy
How we write, test, and correct this site — the same bar other pages in this portfolio should copy.
By Alex Rivera · Last updated October 11, 2026
CursiveGen is a small tool site, not a magazine. Still, people copy compatibility numbers, style names, and “best generator” claims from pages like this. This policy is the receipt for those claims.
1. Who writes
Guides, blog posts, and tool documentation use the editorial pen name Alex Rivera. The site is published by CursiveGen.
Alex Rivera is the main editor for those guides, posts, and tool pages. The about page states that role. Questions about a page, a font count, or a matrix cell go to support@cursivegen.com.
2. Dated testing claims
Compatibility numbers come from paste tests across real devices and apps, not from marketing adjectives. Last full matrix pass: July 28, 2026 — 49 Unicode styles across the platforms listed on the compatibility matrix. Image export uses 10 self-hosted script fonts.
When a test is dated, the date stays visible. We would rather show an older stamp than pretend a number is live when it is not.
3. What we will not claim
- No fabricated testimonials, star ratings, or Review / AggregateRating schema.
- No invented user counts (“trusted by thousands”) unless we can date the source.
- No “200+ styles” when the Unicode engine has 49.
- No promise that every ornate Unicode range will survive every Android chat client — Fraktur is the working example.
- No doorway pages that only swap “cursive maker” for “cursive generator.” Variant phrases live as in-page sections on the homepage.
4. Illustrative graphics
Editorial images on this site are illustrative graphics generated for layout examples (lined-paper previews, comparison mockups, letterform grids). They are not camera photographs of third-party apps or private user data. Copy that says they are AI-generated illustrations is honest about origin; we do not relabel them as photos.
Generator software tags are stripped from files so the images themselves do not advertise an AI tool in EXIF. The on-page disclosure stays. See the note under the homepage gallery cards.
5. Two products, labeled
Unicode copy-paste and PNG/PDF handwriting export are different jobs. Social bios need the Unicode tool. Print, worksheets, tattoos, and invitations need image export. We will not bury that split in a footer FAQ.
6. Corrections
If a compatibility cell, font count, or platform limit is wrong, use the contact form or email support@cursivegen.com. Material corrections get a visible date change on the page.
7. Advertising and thin content
Indexable tool and article pages that load advertising include substantive main content — not keyword stubs. We run an internal build check on word count in <main> so AdSense placements sit beside real guides. Legal, contact, and privacy pages stay out of that program.
Affiliate or sponsored mentions, if added later, will be labeled in prose near the link. We do not accept payment to inflate generator comparison scores.
8. Reader submissions
Gallery and contact submissions are reviewed manually. We do not fabricate quotes from submitters. If we feature your PNG, we use the credit line you approve. Rejections happen when work infringes copyright or promotes impersonation with Unicode homoglyphs.
Sponsored links, if any are added later, will use plain-language disclosure adjacent to the link — not hidden in image alt text.
