The level of checking should match the risk: a general website description and medical, legal or financial information do not require the same treatment.
The method follows a simple principle: the more precise, recent or consequential a claim is, the more closely it must be connected to identifiable evidence and reviewed with care. Fluent prose never replaces that work.
Editorial review
Publication director: Vincent Ferrer. Webmaster / Domain name owner: Alexis RZG.
Before writing, we identify the question, intended audience and action the page should support. A page with no identifiable utility is not published merely to occupy a search query.
We favour project-specific value: structured data, collection organisation, explicit comparisons and useful source links.
Information comes from the relevant websites and, when needed, primary or recognised sources. We distinguish verifiable claims, editorial presentation and opinion.
Date, author, responsible organisation, proximity to the event and commercial interest help determine how much confidence a source deserves.
Writing is based on the material qualified during research. Fluent wording is never evidence: every important claim must remain connected to a source or state its limits.
Review looks for contradictions, overconfident wording, unsupported figures, broken links and ambiguity. The final text must remain proportionate to what was checked.
Important pages expose update dates through metadata. Volatile information needs more frequent review than methodological content.
A precise report triggers a new reading. Content may then be corrected, expanded, annotated or removed.
No reasonable process guarantees that every page is error-free or instantly current. The method reduces risk and makes choices explicit; it does not turn this portal into a universal official source.
For health, law, finance, safety or another high-impact decision, consult a qualified professional or competent authority.
For a website record, the first source is usually the website itself: homepage, about page, legal notice, documentation or service pages. This shows what the project says, but does not always confirm that every statement is accurate.
When external verification is necessary, we prefer official text, documentation from the responsible body, original data or the full document before commentary about it. Recognised media and specialist publications can add context, while anonymous aggregators and repeated summaries carry less weight.
A secondary source can be excellent for explanation. It should simply not be presented as primary evidence when a more direct source exists.
A general category, an available language or the existence of a contact page can be observed directly. A statistic, legal duty, health recommendation or safety claim requires stronger precautions.
We consider the possible severity of an error, how quickly the information can change and whether readers can verify it themselves. As risk rises, the text should state its limits, point to a competent authority or avoid a conclusion that is too broad.
This approach prevents the same level of certainty from being applied mechanically to information of very different kinds.
Final review checks that the title matches the content, each section answers a useful question and repetition is not hiding a lack of information. Links, names, dates and comparative wording are checked separately.
We also look for signs of artificially expanded text: interchangeable introductions, conclusions with no additional value, lists that merely repeat the previous paragraph and vague statements that cannot be assessed.
A page is ready when its usefulness can be explained clearly, its limits are visible and readers know which source to consult next.
Reports, inaccessible links, redirect changes and inconsistencies found during review feed the maintenance process. A simple correction can be made directly; a substantive change requires the sources to be qualified again.
We avoid changing a date merely to create an appearance of freshness. An update should reflect a real change to the text, structure, links or published information.
When a page can no longer be maintained usefully, removing it is preferable to keeping content that is clearly outdated.
Workshops read an address without contacting it, explain calculations and let you compare chart scales. Worked methods explain how to track an application, identify a bibliographic reference, read a research affiliation, share a map or compare a Eurostat table. They specify the useful record to keep and the limits of the result. Examples are fictional exercises, not claimed service tests.
Explore the practical workshops and worked methods by task. World Web Certified is the project name, not an external certification label.
Publishing a methodology is not enough. Its value depends on practical decisions: refusing an unsupported claim, correcting an inaccurate description, separating a source from an opinion and acknowledging what the portal cannot establish.
