Mosque review process
This page explains how the site handles mosque additions and update requests from visitors and local sources, and how it decides whether a record should be published, merged, moved to the correct city, or held for stronger evidence.
When a new mosque or update arrives, the first review looks at the mosque name, city, coordinates, address clues, and any local signals that point to the true owner city of the record.
That step matters because it prevents a mosque from being treated as native to a nearby city when its true location belongs somewhere else.
If a mosque appears with the same name, a near-identical name, or very close coordinates, the site does not assume it is a new record. It may be a duplicate, a spelling variation, or a better version of an existing listing.
In those cases, strengthening the better record is preferred over publishing parallel copies that confuse visitors and search engines.
Nearby search can pull mosques across city boundaries, so the site tries to lock the record to its true owner city using address clues, coordinates, local naming, and municipal context.
When a mosque is found under the wrong city, ownership is corrected and wrong URLs can be redirected to the canonical page instead of leaving visitors on a misleading version.
Review is not only about location. The site also checks Arabic and English naming, whether the word mosque is needed for clarity, transliteration quality, and service details such as women’s prayer space, parking, classes, and Friday timing.
That matters because page quality depends on both correct location and clear presentation.
A clear, internally consistent update can be accepted quickly. A conflicting, incomplete, or duplicate-looking record may need more review or better evidence before it is treated as final.
That intentional delay protects mosque pages from filling up with weak names, wrong city ownership, or duplicate records.
