# How we check facts

Every fact on Calankii links to a source we opened ourselves, and anyone can correct a page. This is how we choose sources, mark what is uncertain, and fix mistakes.

Last checked **2026-11-12**

## Sources, best first

- Original documents and official data: constitutions, court rulings, census and statistics offices, UN agencies (OCHA, UNHCR, IOM, FAO, WFP), the World Bank and IMF.
- Academic books and journals, and long-standing country studies.
- Reputable media and research centres, at home and abroad.
- Encyclopedias, including Wikipedia, only as a backup or a lead to check.

Opinion pieces are marked as opinion. Where sources disagree, we say so and show both.

## What we leave out

We do not publish claims we could not check. We name only groups, institutions and public figures. We never publish anything that could put a reader, volunteer or private person at risk.

## Dates and review

Every page shows the date it was last checked. English pages carry a draft badge until a native speaker has reviewed them. A page with fewer than two sources is kept out of search engines until more sources are added.

## Fixing a page

Use “Fix this page” at the end of any page. Tell us what is wrong, what it should say, and send a link to your source. A reviewer checks it, and the page shows the new “last checked” date.
