EXPLORE THE ENCYCLOPEDIA
Editorial policy & sources
Explore history, place and people. Choose a subject and follow its story.
Evidence before publication
Articles use original writing and identify sources for historical and geographical claims. Primary evidence is distinguished from interpretation. Review credit must never be assigned to someone who has not performed the review.
The current introductions
The local preview contains 30 introductory topics in two languages. Five heritage introductions link to UNESCO, and the seven royal biographies cite Saudipedia and Wikipedia and include sourced archival photographs. The other introductions still need references, and all material requires human review. All seed introductions are labeled editorial previews and excluded from indexing.
Editing and translation
Articles progress through drafting, factual review, translation review and approval. CMS content is public only after approval, publication and completion of a structurally aligned bilingual pair. Editing approved content resets it for review unless a reviewer explicitly approves the change.
Sources and corrections
Research leads include Darah, official statistical and cultural institutions, UNESCO and academic publications. Naming a reference institution is not verification of every article. A public correction channel with a real editorial owner and contact details is required before launch.
