Editorial Policy & Linguistic Standards
At Verbpedia, accuracy is our foundation. Because language students and classroom teachers rely on our conjugation tables and comparative grammar guides for exams (DELE, DELF/DALF, Goethe-Zertifikat, CILS, CELPE-Bras, JLPT, HSK), every entry follows a strict 4-step editorial verification protocol.
1. Primary Reference Authorities
Our verb paradigms, orthographic rules, and auxiliary selections are verified against official national language academies:
- 🇪🇸 Spanish: Real Academia Española (RAE) — Diccionario de la lengua española & Nueva gramática
- 🇫🇷 French: Académie Française & Bescherelle: L'art de conjuguer
- 🇩🇪 German: Duden — Die deutsche Rechtschreibung & Grammatik
- 🇮🇹 Italian: Accademia della Crusca & Vocabolario Treccani
- 🇵🇹 Portuguese: Academia Brasileira de Letras (ABL) & Acordo Ortográfico
- 🇹🇷 Turkish: Türk Dil Kurumu (TDK) Güncel Türkçe Sözlük ve Yazım Kılavuzu
2. Contextual & Natural Example Sentences
We reject unnatural, machine-translated filler sentences. Every example sentence accompanying a tense on Verbpedia is crafted to illustrate real communicative contexts, idiomatic collocations, and authentic register distinctions (such as tú vs usted, tu vs vous, du vs Sie).
3. Corrections & Continuous Audit Policy
Whenever a user or educator reports a regional variation or typographical error via editorial@verbpedia.xyz, our team audits the entry against primary sources and updates the static dataset within 48 hours.
