Methodology
How pages are created, cited, reviewed, and kept current.
How pages are created
Pages begin as focused research jobs. An agent compiles a draft from authoritative sources, extracts claims, and attaches citations to the passages that support them.
What counts as a good source
- Primary sources (original papers, standards, official records)
- Reputable secondary sources (textbooks, major encyclopedias, well-cited reviews)
- Contemporary coverage by credible outlets for ongoing events
Self-referential, user-generated, and low-authority sources are avoided as primary support.
Citations
Each substantive claim should reference a citation. Citations are visible on every page and link out to the source.
Human review
AI-assisted drafts are reviewed by editors before publication. Updates to existing pages go through the same pipeline.
Limitations
Delvipedia is a living system — pages may lag recent events, citations may move or rot, and AI-assisted drafts occasionally include errors. Corrections are welcome; see the editorial policy.
