Editorial Standards

At Wiki Arabi, every article goes through several stages that ensure the highest standards of quality and accuracy, and give Arabic readers clear, correct and up-to-date information that answers their questions. These are our main stages:

1. Research and topic selection

We start by identifying what the reader really needs. We choose a clear, concise title that reflects the subject without being too long or too vague, and we look for the best way to present the information so that it is easy to follow and understand.

What we check

• A clear, concise title that matches what readers search for.
• The question the article is meant to answer.
• A clear outline of sections before writing begins.

2. Writing

The writer produces the article in their own words, after reading about the subject and understanding it well. Articles are written in Modern Standard Arabic and rely on reliable sources, which are listed at the end of the article.

What we require

• Original content: information copied from other websites is not accepted.
• No copy and paste: the article must not have been published online before.
• Modern Standard Arabic, not colloquial dialects.
• Reliable references: an article without references is not accepted, and Wikipedia is not considered an authoritative scientific source.

3. Review and fact-checking

Our team reviews each article for language and for content, verifies its information and sources, and makes sure it is original and useful to the reader. Any article proven to be copied is removed.

What we review

• Wording, spelling and punctuation.
• Accuracy of the information and reliability of the sources.
• Originality, and the absence of copied text.
• An additional review for medical, legal and financial articles.

4. Publishing

The article is published with the names of its writer and reviewer and the date of its last update, so readers know who wrote the information and when it was last reviewed.

What readers see

• The writer's name, linking to all of their articles.
• The reviewing team.
• The date of the last update.
• The references at the end of the article.

5. Review and updates

We review articles regularly and update them when new information becomes available, and we correct any error that readers report to us.

How we keep content current

• Updating articles when new information appears.
• Correcting errors reported by readers.
• Enriching articles to better meet readers' needs.

Medical and sensitive content

Health, legal and financial information published on our website is for general education only and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. These articles receive an additional review before publication.
