peoplenetworth.com is committed to publishing fact-based, reliable, and transparent information. This Fact-Checking Policy explains how we verify information before and after publication.
1. Fact-Checking Principles
Our fact-checking process is based on:
- Accuracy
- Source reliability
- Transparency
- Neutrality
- Timely updates
- Clear distinction between verified facts and estimates
We aim to ensure that readers can understand where information comes from and how it has been verified.
2. Source Priority
We prioritize primary and official sources whenever available.
For politicians and public officials, preferred sources include:
- Election Commission records
- Candidate affidavits
- Parliamentary profiles
- Government websites
- Official party websites
- Public financial disclosures
- Court or regulatory records, where applicable
For businesspeople, celebrities, athletes, and other public figures, sources may include:
- Official websites
- Verified interviews
- Company filings
- Public registries
- Reputable media reports
- Books, public biographies, and trusted databases
3. Verification of Key Facts
We attempt to verify important details such as:
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Age
- Birthplace
- Current position
- Political party or organization
- Constituency or public office
- Education
- Career timeline
- Election results
- Assets and liabilities
- Awards and recognition
- Public controversies or legal matters
Sensitive claims require stronger sourcing and careful wording.
4. Net Worth and Financial Data
Financial information may come from public disclosures, election affidavits, business filings, media reports, and estimated valuations.
For elected representatives and candidates, declared assets and liabilities are usually based on affidavits filed with election authorities. These are self-declared values and may not represent actual market value or independently audited net worth.
Where we publish estimated net worth, we clearly treat it as an estimate, not an official figure.
5. Use of Multiple Sources
When possible, we verify important claims using more than one reliable source. If only one official source is available, we may rely on that source and identify it clearly.
If sources conflict, we may mention the conflict or choose the most authoritative source.
6. Handling User-Submitted Information
We may receive correction requests, tips, or updates from readers. User-submitted information is not published automatically. It is reviewed against reliable sources before being added or changed.
7. Fact-Checking Controversial Claims
For controversies, allegations, criticism, or legal matters, we use cautious language and reliable sources.
We avoid:
- Presenting allegations as proven facts
- Using defamatory language
- Publishing unsupported rumors
- Removing necessary context
- Relying only on partisan or promotional sources
8. Page Verification Status
Pages may include labels such as “Fact-Checked,” “Last Updated,” or “Last Verified.” These labels mean that the page has been reviewed by our editorial process as of the displayed date.
They do not mean that all information will remain current forever.
9. Corrections After Publication
If we discover that published information is inaccurate, we will correct or update it as soon as reasonably possible. Readers can report errors through our Corrections Policy.
