== What is Cultopedia? ==
Cultopedia is a public reference platform that organises published information about organisations and their histories. Cultopedia is a structured reference platform that collects publicly available information about organisations and presents it chronologically using reliable sources such as encyclopedias, journalism, documentaries, and academic research.

== Does Cultopedia decide whether a group is a cult? ==
No. Cultopedia does not classify organisations and does not determine whether a group is a cult. Inclusion in Cultopedia does not imply any judgment or designation.

== Is Cultopedia only about cults? ==
No. Cultopedia focuses on organisations that have drawn significant public concern, scrutiny, or debate, but it is not limited to one label. Organisations are included because there is substantial publicly available material about them from recognised sources. Inclusion reflects availability of documentation, not evaluation.

== Does Cultopedia make accusations? ==
No. Cultopedia does not create original allegations. Cultopedia does not conduct investigations or publish new claims. It only references existing material from publicly available sources. It brings together published sources so readers can examine them in context.

== Is the content all written by Cultopedia? ==
No. The project starts with only publicly available material as a baseline, and then adds its own structured overview layer, including tables, timelines, and source collections. Cultopedia brings together information from sources such as: encyclopedic entries, newspapers and journalism, documentaries, academic research, court records and legal reporting and institutional publications.

== Why does Cultopedia organise information chronologically? ==
Chronological organisation helps readers understand how an organisation has developed over time and how public discussion about it has changed. It allows readers to distinguish between:
early history and later developments
positive reporting and criticism
legal events
institutional recognition
This reduces confusion and improves transparency. We do not include or exclude material for the purpose of making any organisation look better or worse.

== Is Cultopedia neutral? ==
Cultopedia aims to present reliable published material in a structured and transparent way without making classifications or judgments. Readers are encouraged to consult the original sources and form their own conclusions.

== Can organisations request corrections? ==
As we only import high-quality sources, and don't generate any original content, it is difficult for us to correct what is already in the public domain. But if an organisation believes information is inaccurate or incomplete, Cultopedia welcomes submissions of reliable sources that improve accuracy and balance.

== Can I contribute? ==
Yes, in a limited early-stage way. The most useful contributions right now are factual corrections and suggestions of reliable published sources.

172.18.0.4:

'''Cultopedia''' is building a public reference platform for people who want to understand organisations over time.

Cultopedia is an independent public knowledge platform that organises authoritative information about organisations.

Cultopedia does not produce investigative journalism or original allegations. Instead, it brings together existing, publicly available and reputable sources — including encyclopedic entries, academic research, court records, documentaries, and news reporting — and presents them in a structured chronological overview.

This allows readers to:

understand how organisations have developed over time
see how they have been described in reliable public sources
access both positive and critical coverage in one place
follow references directly to original materials

Cultopedia does not determine whether an organisation is a cult. Inclusion in Cultopedia does not represent a judgment or classification. The platform exists to support transparency, accessibility of information, and informed public understanding. To help readers navigate complex source material, Cultopedia also provides a structured overview of how organisations are described across time — for example:

education initiatives
charitable activity
legal proceedings
investigative reporting
academic discussion
public criticism
institutional recognition

By presenting documented material chronologically and contextually, Cultopedia enables readers to form their own evidence-based understanding.
