Violations of these guidelines may lead to content removal, temporary or permanent account suspension, or other enforcement measures.
1. Content Standards
Submission of Original Work: All editorials, articles, and submitted content must be entirely original and authored by the contributor. Any use of external material, including statistics, quotations, or research findings, must be clearly cited. For detailed instructions on proper attribution, please refer to our Plagiarism Policy.
Corrections and Updates: Contributors are responsible for promptly correcting any inaccuracies in their content. Updates, clarifications, or amendments should be issued whenever necessary to ensure that all published material maintains factual accuracy and credibility.
Accuracy and Fact-Checking: Every submission should be thoroughly researched, verified, and supported by credible sources. Contributors are expected to cross-check all data, references, and claims before publication to uphold the platform’s high standards of editorial integrity.
Respectful and Inclusive Communication: All interactions on WhatifFacts, including discussions, comments, and correspondence, must be courteous, professional, and free from harassment or discriminatory language. Personal attacks, threats, or offensive behaviour are strictly prohibited.
No Endorsement Through Ads or Editorials: WhatifFacts does not allow any advertisement, article, or user-generated content that promotes hate speech, discrimination, misinformation, or illegal activities. Violating content will be removed, and the contributor may face restrictions or account suspension.
