Editorial policy
Short answer: NewmanWindows.wiki cites primary sources such as state license records first, attributes the company’s marketing statements to the company, publishes prices only when the company does (and attributes them), and leaves out anything it cannot verify.
What sources does the wiki use?
Primary records first: California Contractors State License Board license records and California statutes. Then the Better Business Bureau, manufacturer dealer locators and Internet Archive copies. The company’s own website is used for its descriptions of itself, and those are attributed. Every source shows its retrieval date.
How are company claims handled?
Statements from the company’s website, such as customer counts, awards and memberships, are written as “the company says” and, where possible, set next to what records show on the claims page.
How are unfavorable records handled?
They are reported neutrally, in the words of the record, with a link to it. The 2020 CSLB citation and BBB complaint counts appear on the relevant pages.
Does the wiki publish prices?
Only prices or rates the company publishes itself, attributed to it, such as advertised financing terms and its general price estimate. The wiki gives no quotes.
What happens when sources disagree?
Both versions are shown with their sources, and the difference is noted, for example on the locations page. Anything that cannot be resolved is listed as an open question.
How are corrections made?
Errors are corrected promptly and substantive changes are logged in the changelog with a date in Pacific Time.
What is the conflict of interest?
The site is produced by a marketing agency that works for Newman Windows. It does not present itself as neutral or unaffiliated. Readers should verify important facts, such as license status, warranty terms and prices, directly with CSLB and the company.
