At netballwiki.nz we want to be open about how our content is made. We use artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool in our editorial process, but every text is worked through, fact-checked and edited by a person before it goes live. This page explains how that works.
How we use AI
We use the AI tool Claude (developed by Anthropic, claude.ai) to speed up parts of our work, such as gathering research, organising a guide into a clear structure and producing a first draft. It helps us work efficiently and cover each netball topic thoroughly.
AI is always an aid and never the final word. No text is published in the form it leaves the AI tool.
Our human editing
Once a draft exists, an editor takes over. This is where the most important part of the work happens. Among other things, we:
- Fact-check every detail against reliable primary sources, such as Netball New Zealand, World Netball, the ANZ Premiership and the netball centres themselves.
- Correct or remove anything that is wrong, out of date or misleading, such as old squad lists, superseded rules or past season formats.
- Rework the language so the text is clear, accurate and easy to read, including for people who are completely new to netball.
- Add context that an AI tool cannot supply on its own, such as how a rule is applied in practice on a New Zealand court.
- Make sure the content is original and not copied from other websites.
The goal is that you as a reader always get content that is correct, useful and written for people rather than for search engines.
Why we are open about it
We believe in transparency. Telling you how our articles are produced is a matter of trust: you should be able to rely on what you read here and know how it came about.
We also follow Google’s guidance on helpful, reliable content. That guidance makes clear that what matters is whether content is accurate and created to help people, regardless of whether AI was involved in producing it. That is the principle we work to.
Fact-checking and responsibility
Everything published on netballwiki.nz is covered by editorial responsibility. An editor reviews the material before publication, and we update our pages as the facts change, for example when rules are revised, squads are named or a competition changes its format. You can read more about who we are on our About us page.
Our content is information, not betting advice
Our articles are informative and descriptive. Where an article mentions betting or gambling, it is not an encouragement to gamble and it is not gambling advice. Gambling in New Zealand is for adults only, with an age limit of 18 for betting with TAB NZ and 20 for casinos. You can read more on our responsible gambling page.
In the same way, our guides to drills, training and equipment are general information. They do not replace advice from a qualified coach, physiotherapist or doctor.
Found an error?
We work hard to get everything right, but mistakes can still slip through. If you spot something that is inaccurate, we would be grateful if you let us know through our contact page, and we will correct it as soon as we can.
