Methodology and editorial accountability
How QPolity separates official fact from explanation, refreshes data, and corrects errors.
Effective from 26 August 2026
Official fact
The automated feed accepts only publications from the allowlisted state bodies. It retains the source link, date, original language and verification status.
Editorial explanation
Analysis is published separately from facts. Every note carries supporting records, a method, an uncertainty boundary, an editor and a review date.
Unknown stays unknown
QPolity does not invent missing dates, relationships, motives or regional conclusions. Preliminary and corrected statuses are shown explicitly.
Update frequency
- Official feed
- Checked at least every two hours. If the target is missed, the last verified state remains visible with a warning.
- Home and Today
- Rebuilt from the live feed; the target age of the lead event is no more than 24 hours.
- History and institutions
- Changed after comparison with a legal act or an official institutional description.
- Analysis
- Updated only after renewed editorial review of all three language versions.
Accountability
The QPolity editorial desk is accountable for topic selection, wording, localization, method and corrections.
Corrections log
As of 26 August 2026, no corrections have been published in the new politics section.
A correction will list the old and new wording, reason, affected languages, decision source and update time. The canonical record is corrected first, followed by every derived page and export.
