Our editors have specific guidelines about what they are allowed to change in your article. They will not change any of your content but we do allow them to correct some errors in an effort to maintain Word Wolf's high standards. This should not be seen as a substitute for spell checking or using correct grammar in your articles.

The following are things that the editors at Word Wolf are allowed to change:

  1. Spelling errors
  2. Common errors of usage. For example the use of their and there, its and it's, who’s and whose
  3. Punctuation errors. Minor errors in punctuation such as adding a comma or period.
  4. Errors of tense. Editors can correct errors made in the tense.
  5. Minor changes to the sentence structure. Editors can make minor changes. For example if a sentence is much too long they may break up the sentence by adding a period and capitalising a word.
  6. Formatting changes. Editors are expected to make sure that the article is easy to read. For example if you have written your article with no paragraphs editors can break up the text by adding paragraphs. We will also adjust the size of videos or images that are too big for the page.

The following are things that editors cannot change:

  1. Editors cannot make major changes to the content.
  2. Editors cannot make any major changes to sentence structure or remove any parts of an article.
  3. Editors cannot change the order of words in the article title.
  4. Editors cannot remove links or keywords unless they are in violation of our rules for the no of links allowed in an article.


In conclusion then editors will not change the content of your article or the title but will make minor adjustments to improve the spelling, grammar and readability.
