1. Purpose
This policy outlines how PakPedia receives, evaluates, verifies, and applies corrections to its civic, legal, geographic, and educational content. Our objective is to maintain the highest level of accuracy and ensure users can trust all published information.
2. Commitment to Accuracy
PakPedia maintains a strict accuracy standard based on:
- Verified primary sources
- Cross-checked legal references
- Updated provincial and federal notifications
- Transparent citation practices
Errors—whether factual, geographical, linguistic, or interpretive—are addressed promptly and systematically.
3. What Can Be Corrected
PakPedia accepts correction requests for:
3.1 Legal & Civic Content
- Incorrect interpretation of constitutional or statutory provisions
- Outdated or superseded laws
- Missing citations or wrong references
3.2 Geographic & Administrative Information
- Wrong district boundaries
- Incorrect tehsil or police jurisdiction mapping
- Outdated administrative structures
3.3 Data & Statistics
- Incorrect figures or datasets
- Outdated demographic, civic, or institutional metrics
3.4 Language & Clarity
- Typos, grammatical errors, and unclear explanations
- Formatting issues that affect comprehension
4. How to Request a Correction
Users may submit correction requests through:
- Email: [email protected]
- Page-level “Report an Issue” link (where available)
Each request should include:
- Page URL
- Description of the issue
- Supporting source(s) if available
- Suggested correction (optional)
Requests without sources are still accepted but undergo deeper verification.
5. Internal Review Workflow
Every correction request is processed using a defined multi-step pipeline:
5.1 Initial Screening
The editorial team checks whether the issue is valid and related to factual content, legal interpretation, or geographic accuracy.
5.2 Verification
The team investigates using:
- Official legal documents
- Government datasets
- Court opinions
- Administrative records
- Historical archives
5.3 Decision & Documentation
For each request, the team decides whether to:
- Approve and apply the correction
- Decline with an explanation
- Flag the page for broader revision
All corrections are logged for internal accountability.
6. Transparency of Changes
When a correction is made:
- A page update note is added (where relevant)
- The change is reflected in the version history
- Major corrections may be documented in quarterly transparency summaries
PakPedia never hides or obscures corrections; transparency is central to our mission.
7. Response Timeline
PakPedia follows a structured response timeline:
- Urgent civic/legal changes: updated within 5–7 days
- General corrections: processed within 10–20 days
- Complex or multi-source issues: may require more time, with status shared on request
8. Editorial Independence
Correction decisions are based solely on evidence from official and verified sources.
No individual, organization, or political entity may request changes that conflict with controlling legal authorities.
9. Protection Against Misuse
PakPedia may reject correction requests that:
- Attempt to intentionally misrepresent legal or civic information
- Conflict with verified primary sources
- Include political influence or opinion-based arguments
- Lack factual grounding after verification
