Editorial Policy

Last Updated: February 12, 2026

At Whereig.com, we focus on one simple goal:

Helping readers clearly understand where a place is located and why it matters.

Every page we publish is built around accuracy, clarity, and geographic context. This policy explains how we research, verify, and maintain our content standards.

How We Research Our Content

Our articles are created using publicly available and verifiable geographic data. Before publishing any location page, we carefully cross-check:

  • Country and administrative region
  • Official district or province classification
  • Latitude and longitude coordinates
  • Population figures (with reference year)
  • Geographic context and nearby cities

Primary Data Sources

We consult reliable and authoritative sources including:

  • Official government websites
  • National census and statistical agencies
  • Municipal and regional administrative portals
  • Recognized geospatial databases
  • Official event organizers (for sports and global events coverage)

Our goal is to present structured, easy-to-understand geographic information based on real data - not assumptions or unverified summaries.

Fact-Checking & Verification

Each article undergoes a review process before publication. We verify:

  • Administrative classifications
  • Map positioning accuracy
  • Geographic coordinates
  • Population reference year
  • Event-related information (when applicable)

If official data changes - such as census updates or administrative boundary revisions - we update our pages accordingly.

Every article includes a visible "Last Updated" timestamp for transparency.

Authorship & Accountability

Content on Whereig.com is written and reviewed by our editorial team, led by dedicated geographic researchers.

Editorial oversight is provided by Manoj Mishra, Lead Geographic Content Researcher at Whereig.

We believe accountability builds trust. That is why author information and editorial responsibility are clearly displayed.

Content Updates & Ongoing Review

Geographic information evolves over time. For that reason:

  • Major location pages are reviewed periodically.
  • High-traffic pages are monitored more frequently.
  • Population figures are updated when new official data is released.
