Evidence standard
This website separates verified evidence, partly verified reports and unverified public claims. Every serious claim should link to a source, document, map, article or official record.
Boundary maps, VKM/DCM decisions and official GIS metadata need careful citation. Map images or GIS layers should not be republished until licence terms are checked.
