Editorial Guidelines

We maintain transparency in our sourcing, verification, and correction processes.

How do we publish?

We clearly separate content from advertising, historical facts from legends, and institutional statements from editorial evaluations.Aydın Directory, when reporting on events in Aydın, relies on a single rule: what is written on the page also states how it is known.

Sourcing

• Primary sources are essential in news—whether a municipality, institution, organizer, or official channel—and the source name is clearly indicated on the page.
• Historical articles feature a visible bibliography and a final review note.
• Legends and folklore are labeled as such and kept separate from historical claims.
• Numerical facts such as dates, prices, event status, and statistics are not produced without sources.

Verification

• Event listings include status (scheduled, postponed, canceled), a verification note, and an official ticket link if available; expired events are marked as ended.
• Venue records maintain location, address, and operating hours alongside the time of the last check.

Correction

When a factual error is detected, the content is updated; significant changes are explained with a correction note. A page’s update date only advances upon a genuine change. To report an error:info@iscik.com.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is used in three steps: drafting, content type classification, and translation. Its value lies here: simultaneous publication in 10 languages and the meticulous scanning of source records, which would be impossible at this speed with a human staff alone. The decision remains human—numerical facts pass through a separate verification gate, visuals are never published without verifying source rights, and no content goes live without passing the publication gate’s controls. In history and folklore content, model generation relies solely on visible bibliographies.

Sponsored Content and Advertising

Sponsored content is explicitly labeled, kept separate from editorial content, and does not influence editorial rankings. No fees are charged for news or venue listings; collaborations are disclosed on the page. Advertisements operate only with your cookie consent (seeCookie Policy).

Images and Rights

The source and attribution of every image are written underneath it. For an image whose rights belong to you, theremoval procedureis open; upon request, the image is removed from publication and its address is permanently blocked.

Independence

Statements from institutions and organizers are reported as statements; evaluation is editorial and labeled as such. Who we are is on theAbout Uspage.
