Editorial policy & sources
Articles in this section, each with its sources.
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.
Published content
Every article is published in Arabic and English together after both versions are reviewed and approved, with its sources listed at the end, numbered and linked to the citations in the text. Articles draw on sources such as Saudipedia, the Saudi Press Agency, UNESCO, official bodies and published studies, and every image carries its attribution and license. The encyclopedia grows continuously, and articles are updated when more accurate information becomes available.
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.
