How the Articles Come About
The articles summarize generally available reference works and are explanatory in tone. Where figures are given, the source and year appear in the text. Where details are only approximate, the text says so.
Personal accounts, opinions about individuals and advice on legal questions are not part of the content.
Independence
Nordschnack has no ties to any association, organization or individual. The site does not speak on behalf of any group of speakers and runs no membership offer.
Errors can never be ruled out entirely. The information does not replace academic literature.
