Finding
A quarter of this record rests on three websites
119 of 452 facts here trace to Wikipedia, one NGO aggregator, and LinkedIn. We wrote a rule against exactly that.
Drafted from 452 sourced records · reviewed by Saad Allahwala · 2026-08-10 · every fact links to its source
Of the 452 facts currently published in this record, 46 cite Wikipedia, 38 cite a single Pakistani NGO directory, and 35 cite LinkedIn. Together that is 119 facts, or about 26 per cent of everything here.
Our own extraction rules rank encyclopedias and aggregators last and instruct the extractor not to cite one where a primary document says the same thing. The rule is in the prompt. It is plainly not winning often enough.
The reason is mechanical rather than mysterious. A departmental website that renders its content with JavaScript returns an empty shell to a fetcher, and an encyclopedia article about the same department returns clean prose. Rank the sources however you like; one of them is readable and the other is not.
A registry whose facts trace to an encyclopedia is an encyclopedia mirror with extra steps, and visible provenance is the only thing this platform has that its competitors do not. So this number is published here rather than fixed quietly, and it is one we expect to be held to.
What we couldn’t find
We could not read several provincial government sites at all. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's forestry department renders entirely in the browser and returns a 1,748-byte shell to anything else; Balochistan's publishes almost nothing about itself.
Where a primary document exists and we have cited an encyclopedia instead, tell us and we will supersede it. The old citation stays in the history either way.
Know any of it? Tell us — that is how the gaps close.
