Handling disagreement
Political actors often disagree about motives, responsibility and legitimacy. We distinguish verified events from claims and interpretation. When an issue remains contested, the article should identify the disagreement and explain what evidence is available.
Election figures
A page should state whether a number refers to general seats, reserved seats, party position at notification, or strength after later judicial and parliamentary changes. A dated number is more useful than an apparently timeless one.
AI-assisted drafting
Automation may assist with organization or editing, but substantive articles require human review, source checking and correction. PakPolitics does not publish unreviewed AI filler.
