Corrections Policy
First Published: December 18, 2025 · How DailyStarLife handles errors and updates
Getting things right matters more than appearing infallible. DailyStarLife is written by one person — Supreet Singh, a writer and SEO professional from Mohali, Punjab — covering a fast-moving industry. Errors will sometimes happen. What defines a publication’s integrity is not whether errors occur, but how they are handled when they do.
This Corrections Policy sets out exactly how DailyStarLife identifies, acknowledges, and fixes factual errors in published articles. It applies to all content published on this site — creator profiles, earnings estimates, Bollywood coverage, food vlogger features, and all other articles.
1. The Core Principle: Accuracy Over Ego
The guiding principle of DailyStarLife’s corrections policy is simple: accuracy is more important than the appearance of being right.
When an error is found in a DailyStarLife article — whether discovered by me, pointed out by a reader, reported by the subject of coverage, or identified by any other means — the following principles apply:
- Errors are corrected promptly — not buried, not hidden, and not delayed out of reluctance
- Corrections are transparent — the reader can see that a correction was made and what changed
- No stealth editing — significant corrections to facts are never made silently without acknowledgement
- The correction is proportionate — a minor typo is handled differently from a major factual error, but both are addressed
- Genuine corrections are welcomed — I am genuinely grateful to anyone who takes the time to flag an error. It makes DailyStarLife better.
DailyStarLife does not have an editorial board, fact-checkers, or a legal team reviewing content before publication. I write, research, and publish alone. This makes reader feedback and corrections submissions an important part of maintaining accuracy — and I take them seriously.
2. Types of Errors and How Each Is Handled
Not all errors are equal. DailyStarLife uses a four-tier framework to categorise errors and apply a proportionate response to each.
Minor Errors
What qualifies: Spelling errors, grammatical mistakes, formatting issues, broken links, or small factual details that do not materially affect the meaning or accuracy of an article (e.g., a creator’s subscriber count being slightly outdated).
- Corrected immediately upon discovery
- No formal correction notice required
- Article’s “Last Updated” date is revised
- No public acknowledgement needed unless the person who flagged it requests one
Significant Factual Errors
What qualifies: Incorrect earnings figures presented as more certain than they were, a misattributed quote, a wrong date for a significant event, a factual claim about a creator that was inaccurate, or any error that meaningfully changes a reader’s understanding of a story.
- Corrected promptly — within 48 hours of verification
- A clear correction notice is added to the top or relevant section of the article
- The correction notice states what was wrong, what the correct information is, and when it was corrected
- The original incorrect text is either removed or struck through, depending on context
- Article’s “Last Updated” date is revised
Major Factual Errors
What qualifies: A fundamental inaccuracy that affects the core premise of an article. Examples: covering a creator’s “viral controversy” based on a misunderstood clip, publishing income estimates based on flawed methodology, or attributing statements to someone that they did not make.
- Corrected within 24 hours of verification where possible
- A prominent correction notice is added to the very top of the article
- The article may be substantially rewritten with a full explanation of what changed and why
- In some cases, a separate “Correction” article may be published on DailyStarLife explaining the error and the correct information
- If the subject of the article reported the error, I will acknowledge their correction
Retractions
What qualifies: An article that is fundamentally wrong at its core premise, was based on fabricated or deliberately misleading source material, or that should never have been published. Retractions are rare and serious.
- The article content is replaced with a clear retraction notice explaining why the article has been retracted
- The URL of the article is preserved (it is not deleted) so that anyone who shared or linked to the original can see the retraction
- The retraction notice states the date of publication, the date of retraction, and a full explanation of what was wrong
- A standalone retraction notice may be published as a new article if the original had significant readership
3. The Corrections Process: Step by Step
Here is exactly what happens from the moment an error is reported to the moment it is corrected:
Error is reported or identified
A reader, the subject of coverage, or I identify a potential error in a published article. Errors can be flagged via email to newslink85@gmail.com with subject “Correction Request,” or I may identify them myself during routine review of published articles.
Acknowledgement
If reported by a reader or subject, I acknowledge receipt of the correction request via email. This acknowledgement does not mean I have agreed the error exists — only that I have received the report and will investigate.
Verification
I research the specific claim independently using publicly available sources. I do not simply accept a correction request at face value — even if the person reporting it is the creator or public figure being covered. The goal is to establish what is actually accurate, not to accept any party’s claim uncritically.
Decision
Based on verification, one of three outcomes occurs: (a) the error is confirmed — a correction is made per the tier framework above; (b) the claim appears to be a matter of estimation or opinion rather than a factual error — the article may be updated to add greater context or clarification; or (c) verification shows the original article was accurate — I explain my reasoning to the person who raised the concern.
Correction is made
The article is updated per the tier framework. A correction notice is added as appropriate. The “Last Updated” date is revised.
Reporter is notified
If a correction was reported by a reader or the subject of coverage, they are notified via email that the correction has been made, with a link to the updated article. If the correction request was not upheld, the reason is explained.
4. What Is NOT a Correction
DailyStarLife’s corrections policy applies to genuine factual errors. The following are not treated as corrections under this policy:
- Disagreements with editorial judgement: If you disagree with an analysis, opinion, or interpretation in an article, that is not a factual error. DailyStarLife publishes analysis and commentary — not just reporting — and reasonable people may disagree with conclusions drawn from the same facts.
- Demands to remove legitimate coverage: A creator or public figure does not have the right to demand removal of factually accurate, fairly reported coverage simply because they dislike the coverage. I will not remove accurate articles based on discomfort with the subject matter.
- Preference-based changes: Requests to soften language, remove factually accurate but unflattering details, or reframe coverage in a more favourable light are not corrections. They may be considered as feedback but will not be accepted as corrections.
- Outdated statistics: Creator subscriber counts, view counts, and similar metrics become outdated extremely quickly. Articles include a “Last Updated” date — readers should treat statistics as accurate at the time of writing. Requests to continuously update statistics are noted but cannot always be actioned immediately.
⚠️ For Creators and Subjects of Coverage
If you are a creator, celebrity, or influencer covered by DailyStarLife and you believe an article contains a genuine factual error, I want to hear from you. But please note: the presence of your name in an article does not give you editorial control over that article. What you do have is the right to have genuine errors corrected promptly and fairly — and that right will always be respected here.
5. Estimates vs. Errors — An Important Distinction
A large portion of DailyStarLife’s content involves earnings estimates, net worth analyses, and income breakdowns for creators and celebrities. This section clarifies how corrections policy applies to estimated content.
Estimates are not errors simply because they differ from a creator’s actual earnings. Every earnings figure published on DailyStarLife is clearly labelled as an estimate based on publicly available data and industry benchmarks. By their nature, estimates involve uncertainty and may be higher or lower than actual figures.
However, an estimate CAN give rise to a correction if:
- The methodology used was fundamentally flawed in a way that made the estimate unreliable even as an estimate
- The estimate was presented with more certainty than was warranted by the available data
- The creator or a verified representative publicly discloses actual earnings figures that are substantially different — in which case the article will be updated to note the creator’s own disclosed figure alongside the original estimate
- The underlying data used for the estimate (e.g. publicly reported view counts or subscriber numbers) was incorrect
If you are a creator and you want to provide your actual earnings data to correct an estimate, I welcome that. I will add your disclosed figure to the article with attribution and note that it supersedes the earlier estimate. Your privacy is respected — I will not publish financial details you share privately without your explicit permission to do so.
6. Response Timelines
| Error Tier | Acknowledgement | Correction Target |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 — Minor errors | Not required | Immediately upon discovery |
| Tier 2 — Significant factual errors | Within 24 hours of receipt | Within 48 hours of verification |
| Tier 3 — Major factual errors | Within 12 hours of receipt | Within 24 hours of verification |
| Tier 4 — Retractions | Immediate | As quickly as possible — within hours |
These are target timelines, not guarantees. DailyStarLife is operated by one person. If I am unavailable for a short period, timelines may extend slightly. Major or serious corrections are always prioritised.
7. How to Submit a Correction Request
To report a potential error in a DailyStarLife article, please email:
- Email: newslink85@gmail.com
- Subject line: Correction Request
For your correction request to be reviewed efficiently, please include:
- The full URL of the article you believe contains an error
- A clear description of what specific claim you believe is wrong
- Your source for the correct information (a link, screenshot, or verifiable reference)
- Your name or handle (optional — anonymous corrections are accepted, but I cannot update you on the outcome if I don’t have your contact details)
Thank you in advance to every reader who takes the time to flag an error. Corrections submissions are one of the most valuable things a reader can contribute to an independent publication. Every genuine correction makes DailyStarLife more reliable and more trustworthy — and that benefits every reader who visits this site. 🙏
The DailyStarLife Accuracy Pledge
I publish every article on DailyStarLife with the intention of being accurate, fair, and honest. When I fall short of that standard, I will not hide it — I will fix it, acknowledge it, and be transparent about what happened.
In 7+ years of working in SEO and content writing, I have learned that trust is built over time and destroyed in moments. DailyStarLife’s long-term credibility depends entirely on whether readers can trust what they read here. Getting corrections right is not a legal obligation for a personal blog — it is a moral one.
