Vertipedia Notes
Vertipedia notes are brief descriptions of how and why Vertipedia works the way it does. Check back often for the latest note, or view the complete list.
Data accuracy and completeness
Similar to most databases, Vertipedia will never be complete. The data available represents a 'snap-shot' in time. Users should always consider other resources, particularly high quality references (e.g. books, archival material, etc.) if they want to ensure the highest accuracy. Vertipedia provides a good starting point for such research but the VFS can never state, categorically, that the data for a particular subject is the most accurate or complete.
