Methodology

This page explains how PedoPedia handles public-source imports, editorial revisions, correction visibility, and public-safe boundaries. It is the site’s public method guide, not an article-specific evidence page.

How to read this methodology

Read this page as the public rulebook for how PedoPedia separates official imported fields, editor-written narrative, related materials, and correction tracking.
Use the linked provenance, revision, and correction surfaces when you need current record-specific evidence rather than sitewide policy.
Methodology describes how the site handles public data and citations; it does not replace the underlying official source, legal advice, or agency instructions.
If a public page appears inconsistent with these rules, compare the article provenance, change ledger, and correction timeline before treating the inconsistency as resolved.

Source policy

Official registry fields are imported from enabled official registry sources, timestamped, and preserved with snapshot history. Editor-written material requires citations and moderator approval before publication.

Limitations

Official public data can be outdated or incomplete. Provenance and sync timestamps are displayed for transparency.

Freshness labels are derived from import recency and sync outcomes: Fresh, Recently Synced, Aging, Stale / Needs Review, and Source Temporarily Unavailable.

Limits of the record

What this page shows

PedoPedia presents official imported fields, editor-written sourced narrative, and approved related materials in separate visible bands so readers can trace what comes from where.

What this page does not prove

The page does not prove current location details, exhaustive criminal history, or any claim beyond what the cited official/public sources support.

Absence from this site is not proof of absence from criminal history.
Presence on this site is not a license for confrontation, threats, or harassment.
This site does not publish maps, sightings, or pursuit-oriented workflows.

Why timestamps matter

Official registries and supporting sources can update after publication. Freshness labels, first-import times, snapshot history, and revision history show how current each layer is.

How corrections and revisions work

Official-source issues are referred through the official authority pathway, while site/editorial issues are reviewed through revision control. Public correction states remain visible instead of silently overwriting history.

Prohibited workflows

No crowdsourced sightings.
No location hunting workflows or maps.
No predictive risk scoring.
No user-generated claims without moderation and citation approval.

Source literacy reminders

Official imported fields, editor-written narrative, and related materials remain visibly separate.
Snapshot history explains what the official record looked like at specific times.
Revision history explains what the article text changed and when.
Correction states remain public so review paths are not hidden.
