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.

Scope and limits

QPolity is an independent reference and analysis project. It does not represent a state body, party or candidate and does not replace an official publication or legal advice.
