Source. Context. Responsibility.

What the labels mean

Media report: we attribute information to the outlet that published it. This does not by itself mean that we have independently established every claim in the report.

Document / official announcement: the entry relies on a public document or institutional statement. A statement confirms what the institution published; its assessments are not automatically independent findings. Where only an archive title was reviewed, we say so explicitly.

Statement in the media: words and assessments belong to the identified speaker. We record the date and their role at that time. The initiative’s position is labelled separately from reporting.

Dates and procedural stages

We distinguish the event date, the source publication date and our review date. Where an exact historical date is unconfirmed, we show the year or an appropriate note.

A complaint, inspection finding, appeal, court decision and final outcome are different things. Loan approval is distinct from a ratified agreement, available funds, construction starting or a facility opening. We do not fill unknown stages with assumptions.

Responses, denials and subsequent developments

We include available responses and denials alongside disputed claims. We link later developments to the original entry, especially where they change its interpretation. Media allegations and the existence of proceedings are not proof of criminal liability.

Reprints of the same agency or media story are grouped together. The number of outlets carrying a story is not the number of independent confirmations.

Patients have a right to privacy

We do not publish patients’ identities, recognisable images, voices, diagnoses or medical documents. We also omit combinations of details that could identify them.

We do not use an incident to portray a person as a danger or turn their health condition into a spectacle. An event alone does not establish negligence, cause or blame.

Copyright and editorial responsibility

We write our own summaries, use short relevant quotations and identify the source and known author. We do not reproduce other outlets’ articles or photographs in full. Source titles retain their original form; some have been neutrally reworded, with a note. Quotations on the Cyrillic site are transliterated without changing their wording, and the original is available at the linked source.

Attribution and this explanation do not exclude responsibility for our selection, headline or presentation. Public availability is not automatic permission for every further use.

How to request a correction

Choose “Correction to an existing entry” in the contact form. Give the entry address, disputed sentence, proposed correction and a public source or explanation. You may leave an email for a reply.

We review requests, update entries when appropriate and mark significant substantive corrections with a date and brief explanation. A response or denial is linked to the relevant event. We do not publish the requester’s private contact details.

At the start of this version, no subsequent corrections have been recorded. This is not a claim that the content is infallible.
