Legal notice

Footnoted is a trivia publication that shows its sources. Below: how the fact pages and quizzes are put together, who is legally responsible for them and where they are hosted.

Our editorial rules

Every number on a Footnoted page, from the length of the Nile to the bones in a hand, is taken from a reference named at the foot of that page: encyclopaedias, museums, government agencies or peer-reviewed work. When those references disagree we print the range rather than pick a winner. Quiz answers are checked against the same references. Footnoted gives no medical, veterinary or financial advice, sells nothing and settles no bets.
