Editorial Policy
Accuracy & Verification
All articles on Overleden.net are fact-checked against multiple reliable sources before publication. We cross-reference biographical data with official records, reputable news outlets, and established databases such as Wikipedia and Wikidata.
AI-Assisted Content
Overleden.net uses AI tools to assist in the creation and translation of articles. This includes research assistance, content drafting, and translation from Dutch to English. All AI-generated content is reviewed and verified by our editorial team before publication.
We are transparent about our use of AI. Each article includes a disclosure noting that AI tools were used in its creation.
Respectful Tone
We treat all subjects with dignity and respect. Our articles focus on celebrating lives and achievements rather than sensationalizing deaths. We follow these principles:
- Factual, neutral language without speculation
- Respect for privacy of surviving family members
- Cause of death is only published when publicly known and verified
- Cultural and historical context to honor each person's legacy
