Editorial Policy
Random Name Spinner identifies the person responsible for its product explanations, worked examples, corrections, and downloadable resources.
Tool-tested
Claims kept narrow
Dated reviews
Named publisher and reviewer
Preston Willis publishes and maintains Random Name Spinner for Willis Innovations LLC. His role on this site is product maintainer and content reviewer: he checks instructions against the current interface, documents the selection method, and reviews correction reports.
This byline does not claim academic, statistical, educational, or legal credentials. Classroom and giveaway resources are operational examples, not professional advice or testimonials. Where a decision requires formal compliance, the site directs the reader to an appropriate process.
Drafting may use software-assisted tools. Preston reviews the final page against the product, narrows unsupported claims, and changes a reviewed date only after a new product check.
What we cover
The Web Crypto source, rejection-sampling method, animation boundary, and live distribution lab
Worked classroom and small-event examples tied to the current controls
Downloadable planning records that keep eligibility and exception rules outside the wheel
Privacy explanations based on browser storage, exports, share links, and advertising services
Current review record
On August 4, 2026, the selection implementation changed from direct remainder mapping to rejection sampling. The Randomness page, wheel selector, and list shuffle now use the same helper.
The classroom and giveaway guides were also rechecked against the current Manage Names, Remove winner after pick, Results History, import, export, and sharing behavior.

When a feature changes, we update the affected guide and its reviewed date. If a claim cannot be verified, it is removed rather than repeated with vague attribution.
