title: "About aaarticle"
lead: "aaarticle is a reference site published by the Media Division of CAC Company, covering home-kitchen equipment, travel destinations, and world history in four languages."
published: 2026-08-27
updated: 2026-09-03
change: "Widened three claims the site had outgrown — every page here exists in the four languages, this page and the editorial policy keep their earlier versions, and every image names its author, its licence and its source in the caption under it — and corrected the claim that the correction record is not printed on the page, which it now is"

requester: internal
reason: "All four were true when they were written and stopped being true when the site changed: every page here can now be opened in all four languages, the archive now keeps these accountability pages, every image the site renders now carries a caption naming its author, its licence and its source, and the correction record is now printed on the page under the text — this page was printing its own record directly beneath the sentence saying it did not"

## Who publishes this site

aaarticle.com is published by the **Media Division of CAC Company**. The division
is the site's editor and is answerable for everything on it.

**No page here carries a personal byline, because no person wrote one.** The pages
are drafted and reviewed by AI systems working to the division's editorial rules,
and then published under the division's name. We do not invent authors,
credentials, or review boards. What we can tell you about how a page was made is
on the [editorial policy](/editorial_policy) page.

## What is on it

| section | what it covers | pages per language |
|---|---|---|
| Home kitchen | buying guides and how-to answers for kitchen equipment | 350 |
| Tourism | destinations and the individual places inside them | 613 |
| History | regions, periods, people, events, organizations, art, and dress | 1,137 |

Every page on this site exists in **English, Spanish, Japanese, and
Simplified Chinese**. A subject that cannot be published in all four is not
published at all, so the four editions describe the same site rather than four
different ones.

## What a page tells you about itself

- **Its picture is credited.** Every image the site shows you — the photographs
  on its pages and the preview cards it builds for its own link lists and for
  sharing — names its author, its licence and where it came from, in the caption
  under the picture.
- **A correction is recorded with it.** Every article, destination and history
  page carries the date it was first published and the date it last changed. When
  a change corrects something the page said, what changed, why, and who asked is
  kept in the page's own source — with the page, rather than in a separate log
  that can drift away from it. **That record is printed on the page, under the
  text** — on this page, on every article page, and on history pages in
  English, Japanese and Chinese. On destination pages, and on the Spanish
  edition of history pages, it is still in the source only. Not every change
  is a correction: a replaced photograph, a rebuild or a translation pass
  moves the changed date and adds no record.
- **Articles, destinations and history pages — and these accountability pages —
  keep their earlier versions.** Each published version is archived at
  `snapshot.aaarticle.com`, addressed by a checksum of its own bytes, so an
  earlier reading can be retrieved rather than argued about.

## Corrections
