How does this site verify information about the protest?

We prefer primary or contemporaneous public sources (organiser posts, official notices, published letters) and look for two independent outlets or one strong primary plus reputable secondary reporting before treating contested events as settled. Wikipedia and live blogs are used as pointers, not sole proof when claims are disputed. Major pages carry a last-reviewed date.

How do you distinguish verified facts from claims?

Plain dated statements with source links document what a source reported. Phrases like “according to…”, “CJP posts…”, “contested”, “reportedly”, or “outcome not yet recorded” signal attribution, dispute, thinner certainty, or incomplete status. Listing someone on Voices or Campuses is documentary, not an endorsement.

How can readers report a correction?

Use the homepage contact form and choose “Report a correction.” Include what is wrong, the preferred correction, and a public source URL. Good-faith corrections with public sources are reviewed and pages updated when warranted.

What this site is

Student Protest (delhistudentprotest.com) is an independent documentation site. It is under development. It is not affiliated with CJP, any political party, or any government.

Content is compiled from public reporting and primary documents. Pages may be incomplete. This Site is not an official channel for CJP, police, universities, or the Union government. Readers should verify important points against the linked sources before sharing.

How we verify information

We document a fast-moving protest. Our verification practice is:

Prefer primary or contemporaneous public sources: organiser posts (embedded in the posts archive), official university or police posts, published letters or source images, and named outlet reporting.
Prefer two independent outlets — or one strong primary source plus reputable secondary reporting — before stating a contested street or political event as settled fact.
Treat Wikipedia and live blogs as useful pointers and chronologies, not as sole proof when a claim is disputed.
Keep a “last reviewed” date on major pages (timeline, demands, campuses, voices) so readers know when editors last checked that page against sources.
When sources conflict, keep both attributions on the page rather than silently choosing one side.

How we distinguish verified facts from claims

We use language on the timeline, demands, and directories that signals certainty:

Plain dated statement with a source link — reported as fact from that source for documentation purposes.
“According to…”, “X said…”, “CJP posts…” — attributed claim or statement; we are documenting who said what.
“Contested”, “disputed by…” — conflicting accounts; both sides are kept visible.
“Reportedly”, “press reports…” — secondary reporting with thinner certainty.
“Scheduled” / “outcome not yet recorded” — forward-looking or incomplete; we have not logged a confirmed result.

Listing a person on Voices or an institution on Campuses means we documented a public support action or public notice with sources — not that this Site endorses them, or that they endorse this Site.

How readers can report corrections

If you find an error, omission, or misattribution, use the homepage contact form and choose the topic “Report a correction.”

What is wrong (page URL and the specific sentence or date if possible).
What the correct information should be.
A public source URL (news article, official post, document, or archive post) that supports the correction.

Good-faith corrections backed by public sources will be reviewed, and pages updated when warranted. We cannot guarantee reply timing. There is no separate anonymous tip line beyond the contact form.

Updates during a live event

Chronology can change the same day. Newer timeline beats may supersede earlier summaries. The demands page tracks phases because organisers’ asks change over time.

“Last reviewed” dates indicate when editors last checked that page against available sources — not that every linked outlet was re-read that morning.
