01 · Sources
Readers can follow the evidence.
Articles draw chiefly on museums, archives, libraries, government hydrographic offices, academic publications and clearly identified primary material. Each article carries a source list for further research.
Each source supports a specific claim. Disagreements between reliable sources remain visible instead of being flattened into false certainty.
- +Direct links to the supporting institution
- +Dates and terminology kept in context
- +Traceable quotation chains
- +Narrative gaps left open when sources are absent
02 · Categories
History, legend and play use different rules.
Historical pages distinguish evidence, inference and uncertainty. Legend pages describe supernatural claims through when and how a story was recorded. Playable scenarios may depart from the record, with those departures identified as game interpretation.
The visual link between article and game marks a thematic connection, not a game event as historical evidence.
- +Documented: supported by cited evidence
- +Disputed: competing interpretations are named
- +Legendary: treated as a cultural tradition
- +Playable: an authored scenario, not a reconstruction

04 · Corrections
Corrections are part of the atlas.
A useful correction report identifies the page, disputed passage and, when available, a source. Reports are reviewed against the published evidence and supported corrections update the page.
Material changes update the page date. A future public change log may record larger revisions; minor typography and layout changes do not alter historical meaning.
- +Page URL and exact passage
- +Reason for the correction
- +Supporting source when available
- +No requirement to disclose a reporter publicly
