This page lists every source behind everything on this site, who published it, and how much weight it carries. It matters because a number without a source is just an opinion with a decimal point.
The short version
Nine sources. Six are government primary sources, two are named journalism and one is a dated Google scrape. Government beats portals, portals beat blogs, and a land seller is never a source for a number. When two sources disagree we print both.
What this page is
Every source this site uses, in one table, with the publisher named and the class stated. If a figure appears anywhere on the site, it came from one of these.

How we class a source
Official primary means a government body published it. Reported journalism means a named publisher reported it, and we print the publisher's name beside the figure so you can weigh it yourself. Reported, point in time means it was true on the day it was read and may not be true now, which is how every Google rating on this site is labelled.
A plot seller's blog is not a source for a number, and no figure on this site rests on one. Where the only figure available comes from a seller, we leave the cell blank rather than fill it.
When sources disagree
We print both and say they disagree. The clearest example on this site is the size of Dholera itself: one source gives 360 square kilometres and the government's own progress reporting gives a planned area of 920. We do not average them, we do not pick the bigger one, and the page that carries them shows both with both publishers named.
