Fact-Checking Policy
David Garda is dedicated to providing accurate and reliable information to our readers. Our articles cover home decor, DIY projects, lifestyle tips, and property advice. We commit to thorough fact-checking before any content goes live, ensuring you receive trustworthy guidance for your home and projects.
Our Verification Process
Every article undergoes a careful verification process before publication. Authors are responsible for ensuring all statements and data are correct. An editor then reviews the content independently, checking key facts, statistics, and claims. This two-step review helps maintain our high standards for accuracy.
Prioritizing Reliable Sources
We rely on authoritative and current sources to support our content. Our team prioritizes primary sources whenever possible. This includes direct research papers, government reports, official product specifications, and manufacturer guidelines relevant to home goods or building materials. We also consult peer-reviewed academic studies for scientific claims and official statements from reputable organizations or industry bodies. Interviews with recognized experts in fields like interior design or real estate are valued, provided their credentials are clear.
Evaluating Claims
When evaluating a claim, our editors ask specific questions. Is the claim verifiable with evidence? Can we confirm it using multiple independent sources? Does the information come from an unbiased origin? We examine the context of all data, ensuring it is used appropriately and does not misrepresent the original source.
Handling Unverified Information
If a claim cannot be verified through our established sources, we do not publish it as fact. Such statements are either removed from the content or rewritten to clearly present them as unconfirmed, speculative, or anecdotal. We aim for clarity and avoid presenting guesswork as established truth.
Distinguishing Fact from Opinion
We clearly separate objective facts from subjective opinions within our articles. Facts are statements proven true through evidence, such as the dimensions of a standard kitchen appliance. Opinions reflect beliefs or preferences, like a preference for minimalist decor over traditional styles. We attribute opinions to specific individuals or groups, especially in advice columns or style guides, ensuring readers understand the difference.
Reader Reporting Process
Your feedback helps us uphold our commitment to accuracy. If you find an error or inaccuracy in any of our articles, please report it to us. Send an email with specific details, including the article title and the incorrect information, to [email protected]. We review all reports and will correct factual errors promptly, typically within 48 business hours.
