Editorial Standards and Corrections Policy

Last reviewed: 24 July 2026

Southwide is an education and exam-preparation platform. These standards explain how we prepare and maintain our mock-test, study, Current Affairs, GK, exam-calendar, and related educational content.

Accuracy and review

We aim to make every published item clear, accurate, and useful for learners. Current Affairs, GK, and exam-related updates should be checked against relevant primary or official sources before publication. Drafts created with automation or AI assistance are not treated as verified simply because they were generated; they require editorial review before publication.

Sources and attribution

For government announcements, examination notices, dates, results, policies, and similar factual updates, we prefer the responsible authority’s website, notice, notification, or other primary record. When an item relies on an external source, we aim to identify or link to that source where practical. A link does not mean that Southwide owns or endorses all content on the external website.

Originality and intellectual property

Southwide does not intentionally copy articles, photographs, charts, questions, explanations, or other protected material without an appropriate right to use them. External material should be quoted only when necessary, kept limited, and attributed. If you believe material on Southwide infringes your rights, please contact us with the page URL, an explanation of the issue, and information showing your connection to the material.

Corrections and updates

If we confirm that published information is materially inaccurate, misleading, or outdated, we may correct, clarify, update, or remove it as appropriate. Where an update materially changes a Current Affairs or informational article, we aim to show that it has been updated. Minor spelling, grammar, formatting, or broken-link fixes may be made without a separate correction note.

Exam dates and official notices

Exam schedules, application deadlines, eligibility rules, vacancies, fees, results, and similar details can change. Southwide provides these items for study and planning support. Learners should confirm important decisions on the relevant examination authority’s official website or notification. Tentative dates should be identified as tentative wherever reasonably possible.

Fairness, privacy, and sensitive subjects

We aim to avoid unsupported allegations, defamatory statements, sensational presentation, and unnecessary intrusion into personal privacy. Content involving children, crime, sexual offences, communal or religious disputes, court proceedings, or other sensitive matters requires additional care. Identifying details should not be included where disclosure may be unlawful, unsafe, or unnecessary for the educational purpose.

AI-assisted content

AI tools may assist with drafting, organisation, simplification, or quality checks. They are not accepted as authoritative sources. Factual claims should be checked against suitable sources, and automated output must not bypass the normal editorial review required for publication.

How to request a correction

Use the Contact Us or Contact / Support link in the footer. Please include the page URL, the statement you believe needs correction, the reason, and a reliable supporting source. We will review the request and make an appropriate correction when the available evidence supports it.

Scope of this policy

These are Southwide’s editorial standards, not a claim of membership in a publishers’ association and not a substitute for applicable law. We may update this page as the platform, its content processes, or relevant requirements change.
