The editorial review function verifies and signs off the content published on Algeria Compass. Review is deliberately kept separate from writing: the person or stage that checks a claim is not the same as the one that drafted it, so that errors and unsupported statements are caught rather than waved through.
What review covers
Every province guide, destination, experience, article and answer passes through review before it is dated and published, and again when it is materially updated. Reviewers focus on verifiable claims — UNESCO status and dates, historical facts, geography and distances, transport and visa logistics — and on cultural and safety sensitivity.
How verification works
Reviewers check each factual claim against at least one authoritative source, confirm names, dates and figures against primary references, and flag anything that cannot be verified. Unverifiable claims are removed or clearly reframed as estimate or opinion. Authoritative sources — UNESCO, government tourism bodies, museums, transport operators — take precedence over aggregators and user-generated content.
Standards and authority
The review function holds final pre-publication sign-off and the authority to issue corrections after publication. Its standards are documented in our Fact-Checking Policy, Content Review Process and Corrections Policy.
Named reviewers
As the team grows, individual reviewers and subject-matter checkers will be credited by name, with their review areas and history. This entity represents the editorial review function that currently stands behind the accuracy of everything on this site.
