Editorial Policy

Cursive Atlas teaches and supports cursive handwriting. This page explains who is responsible for the site, how its pages are made, how we try to keep them correct, and what we will not publish. If a page falls short of anything written here, please tell us at hello@cursiveatlas.com.

Who is responsible

Cursive Atlas is an independent project published and maintained by Salah eddine. He decides what is published, answers corrections and is the person to contact about any page. The site is not run by a school, a publisher or a company, and nobody pays us to feature a product or a method.

How pages are written

• Text on the site is drafted with the help of AI writing tools, then published, maintained and corrected by Salah eddine. We say this openly because readers should know how a page was made.
• The letter shapes, stroke animations, tracing pads, charts and worksheets are not AI-generated images. They are drawn by code from one set of single-line pen paths, so the stroke order you watch is the one you trace and print.
• Lesson pages follow traditional American school cursive. Programs such as Zaner-Bloser, D'Nealian and Palmer differ, mostly in capital letters, so where a teacher's model differs we say that the teacher's model comes first.
• Each word and name page describes how to write that specific word, including where the pen lifts and which joins are high or low. Those step descriptions are checked against the same pen paths that draw the animation.

Accuracy and sources

• We write about handwriting technique from the standard practice of school cursive: letter formation, slant, spacing and joins. We do not publish medical or therapeutic claims.
• History pages stay with well-established points, such as the development of Roman, Carolingian, italic and round-hand scripts, and avoid precise claims we cannot support.
• Where we mention research, for example on handwriting and learning, we describe it in general terms and state its limits rather than promising results.
• Word and name pages explain meaning and origin cautiously. Names and words have several possible origins, so we say "commonly" or "often" instead of claiming a single certain source, and we do not publish popularity statistics we have not verified.
• We do not invent reviews, testimonials, ratings or readers' stories, and we do not make up credentials. Salah eddine is a site publisher, not a handwriting teacher or a therapist, and the guides say so where it matters.

Updates and corrections

• Guides and policy pages show a "last updated" date. The date changes only when the content changes in a meaningful way.
• When a reader reports a mistake, we check it against the letter paths and the page, correct confirmed errors and update the date.
• Tools say what they produce. For example, copy-and-paste cursive text is made of Unicode characters, not a real font, so it can look different from app to app.

Advertising and independence

The site is free and is supported by advertising from Google AdSense. Advertising does not decide what we write. We do not run sponsored posts, we do not sell links, we do not use affiliate links and we do not review products in exchange for payment. If we mention a kind of pen or paper, it is because it helps with handwriting, and we say how we reached the advice. Ads should never be mistaken for our content, and if one looks misleading or covers a page, please report it.

What we will not publish

• Content written only to catch search traffic, such as pages that repeat each other with the words swapped.
• Advice that claims to diagnose, treat or cure a learning difference.
• Legal or financial advice about signatures and documents.
• Fake or AI-generated images presented as real handwriting.

How to report a problem

Write to hello@cursiveatlas.com with the page address, what looks wrong and what you expected. Letter and step numbers help most. See the contact page for more detail and the about page for background on the project.
