Background, credentials, editorial principles, and the review cycle under which every page on the site is maintained.)}}
	+
	+	====== Editor =====
	+
	+	//Last reviewed: 20 April 2026//
	+
	+	===== Shrawan =====
	+
	+	Shrawan is the editor of RTI Wiki. The site is an open, practitioner-ready reference on India's Right to Information Act, 2005, maintained in the register of a Department of Personnel and Training or Central Information Commission bench-book.
	+
	+	Credentials and background. Public-policy research on access-to-information law since 2011. Contributed to applicant-side briefs at the Central Information Commission. Long-running editorial interest in administrative law, right-to-know jurisprudence, and open government.
	+
	+	Editorial focus. Legislative changes to the RTI Act and allied rules, Supreme Court and High Court decisions on access-to-information, Information Commission practice, and the interplay with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (in force 14 November 2025).
	+
	+	===== Editorial principles =====
	+
	+	- Current. Every page carries a "Last reviewed on" line. Pages on evolving law (the Act, the Rules, case pages) are reviewed at least once a quarter. Pages are reviewed immediately after any amendment or binding judgment.
	+	- Sourced. Every factual claim on this site carries a citation to the statute, rule, circular, judgment, or Commission order that supports it. Case citations use the standard form ((2013) 1 SCC 212, etc.) and link to the on-site case page or a verified reporter.
	+	- Usable. Every guide closes with a template, a checklist, or a specific next step. A page that does not leave the reader in a position to act is a page that has not done its job.
	+	- Neutral. Third-person, British-Indian spelling. The site is not a law firm. No legal advice is offered. Advocacy positions, where taken (for example, the editorial on the DPDP 2025 amendment), are labelled as editorial.
	+	- Transparent on mistakes. Corrections are logged on the affected page and, for material errors, acknowledged at the top of the relevant entry with the date of correction.
	+
	+	===== Review cycle =====
	+
	+	* Daily. New judgments, Commission notifications, Gazette entries are monitored. Time-sensitive updates (for example, DPDP Rules notification) land within twenty-four hours.
	+	* Weekly. A rolling audit of the ten most-viewed pages against current law.
	+	* Quarterly. A full namespace audit (act, rules, guide, important-decisions, templates).
	+	* Annual. A complete restatement of the top-level guides.
	+
	+	===== Contact =====
	+
	+	Editorial contact and corrections: through the [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/feedback.php\|feedback widget]] at the bottom of any page, the [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/bookmarks.php\|saved-articles page]] (logged-in users), or by email to the publisher at ad@bighelpers.in.

	+
	+	====== Editorial policy =====
	+
	+	//Last reviewed: 20 April 2026//
	+
	+	This page describes how RTI Wiki is edited, sourced, reviewed, and corrected. It applies to every page on the site.
	+
	+	===== Sources =====
	+
	+	Every factual claim on the site carries a citation. Citations draw from, in order of preference:
	+
	+	- The statute itself. The Right to Information Act, 2005; the RTI (Amendment) Act, 2019; the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023; the RTI Rules, 2012; the RTI Fee Rules, 2005; State RTI Rules; the DPDP Rules, 2025.
	+	- Binding judgments. Supreme Court of India decisions cited in the standard form ((2013) 1 SCC 212). High Court decisions cited by writ number and date of decision.
	+	- Central Information Commission and State Information Commission orders. Cited by decision number, date, and decided-by bench.
	+	- Government circulars and Office Memoranda. Department of Personnel and Training OMs, Ministry notifications.
	+	- Academic commentary. Treatises and peer-reviewed work are cited only where the original primary source is also cited.
	+
	+	Service-provider websites, commercial filing portals, and news outlets are used only to cross-reference a primary source that is already on the page.
	+
	+	===== Verification =====
	+
	+	* First draft. Every new page is drafted against the primary statute and the leading case.
	+	* Legal fact-check. Every case citation is checked against the original reporter. Every section reference is checked against the current text of the Act.
	+	* Dated review. Every page carries a "Last reviewed on" line. The date is updated only when the page has been re-read end to end against current law.
	+	* Snapshot link. Where a page cites an external URL that is prone to link-rot, a snapshot date is given.
	+
	+	===== Corrections =====
	+
	+	Corrections are public. On pages where a material error has been corrected, the following is added at the top of the affected section:
	+
	+	> Correction, {date}. {one-line description of the error, the fix, and the source that justified the change.}
	+
	+	Minor corrections (typos, spelling, formatting) are not logged individually. Substantive corrections — to a section reference, a case citation, a procedural step, a timeline, or a legal position — are always logged.
	+
	+	Readers may submit corrections through the [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/feedback.php\|feedback widget]] at the bottom of every page. The editor acknowledges every correction received.
	+
	+	===== Conflicts of interest =====
	+
	+	The editor does not offer paid legal services, does not file RTIs on behalf of clients, and does not take advertising from any entity with a stake in the outcome of an RTI proceeding.
	+
	+	The site carries contextual advertising (Google AdSense). Ad placement is site-wide and not article-specific. Advertisers do not have editorial input.
	+
	+	Where the editor has personal involvement in a matter discussed on the site, that involvement is disclosed on the page itself.
	+
	+	===== Licensing =====
	+
	+	Content on this site is published under GFDL 1.3 unless otherwise marked. Citations from statutes and official sources carry their original copyright. Case-law excerpts are used under the common-law doctrine of fair use for commentary and review.
	+
	+	Reuse is welcomed. See the [[press:media-kit\|media kit]] for citation guidelines.
