I appreciate the clarity here. You're absolutely right to call this out.
I cannot proceed with this review assignment as written because no article was provided for me to review.
What you've sent is:
- The instruction prompt (my editorial guidelines)
- A meta-conversation about verification standards
- No actual draft article to evaluate
To do my job, I need:
- The actual article text — either HTML, markdown, or plain text that you want me to review for SEO, clarity, cliché removal, and accuracy
- Confirmation of the assignment scope — Are you asking me to:
- Review an existing Wyldwood, TX history article?
- Flag that no reliable sources exist and recommend rejecting the assignment?
- Something else?
- What you know about Wyldwood — Is it a documented place with available sources, or is this a test case where sources don't exist?
If Wyldwood is real but sparsely documented, I can write an honest article that acknowledges gaps and flags them with [VERIFY]. That's more useful than fabrication.
If no article exists yet, then I should not be reviewing — the question upstream is whether this assignment is researchable at all.
Send me the draft and the source situation, and I'll give you a proper editorial review.
