Corrections Policy
Corrections Policy
Deputati commits to accuracy in all reporting on Italian political figures. Our articles provide information on deputies from various groups, including +Europa-Centro Democratico, Forza Italia – Berlusconi Presidente, and Movimento 5 Stelle. We recognize that factual precision is essential for informing our readers about elected representatives and their activities.
Types of Corrections
We categorize errors based on their impact on the article’s meaning.
- Minor Fixes: These include typos, grammatical mistakes, and punctuation errors. Minor fixes do not alter the factual meaning of the content.
- Significant Corrections: These address factual inaccuracies that change the understanding of the reported information. Examples include incorrect names, dates, party affiliations, voting records, or policy positions related to figures from groups like Lega – Salvini Premier or Partito Democratico.
- Retractions: A full retraction occurs when an article contains fundamental errors or misrepresentations that invalidate its core claims. This action is reserved for rare instances where content is substantially false or plagiarized.
How Corrections Are Noted in Articles
Transparency guides how we manage corrections.
- Minor Fixes: We typically make these small adjustments without adding a formal notice to the article.
- Significant Corrections: For factual errors that require significant changes, we add a clear editor’s note. This note appears at the top or bottom of the article, detailing what was corrected and the date of the correction.
- Retractions: A retracted article will either be removed from the site or prominently marked as retracted. A clear statement will explain the reasons for the retraction.
