What must be true before an article is published?
Every article needs a clear question, a direct answer, an identified author, at least one documented source, and completed editorial review. Content that makes religious or cultural claims also requires religious review before its status can change to published.
How are claims handled?
Factual claims map to named sources in the article record. Sources include author, title, publisher or edition when available, access date, and the specific claims they support. A source list appears on the published page.
How does Diya write about differing traditions?
When practices or interpretations vary, the article identifies that variation instead of presenting one approach as universal. Sanskrit text, transliteration, translation, dates, and religious claims are not generated or guessed.
What changes count as an update?
A modified date changes only when an article receives a substantive revision. Build or deployment dates never replace editorial dates. Archived content is removed from article listings and sitemaps.
How are corrections made?
Correction requests are checked against the article’s claim and source record. Confirmed corrections are made in the page content, and substantive changes update the modified date.
