Coverage across the collection

Entries per topic in the current edition. Bars are scaled against the largest topic, not against a research-completeness target.

What is counted

Article section words, including retained reference notes and bibliography; excludes Bible reader, Bible source files and interface text. Preserved reference text includes its notes and bibliography. This measures available reading volume, not a count of independently verified facts. Source book files, duplicate Bible chapter text and interface copy do not inflate the total.

The next chapters, in progress

The retained collection expands biographies, women's histories, regional communities, ancient evidence, languages and literature. Some contextual entries concern shared traditions, neighbouring societies or related churches; inclusion does not identify every subject as Assyrian.

What still requires people

Preserved references are externally authored, attributed and licence-labelled. Text volume does not imply independent verification or specialist review. Preserved references are not substitutes for original research, specialist review, community testimony or permissions for new media. Missing source pages produce no placeholder articles. Revision, author-history and licence links accompany each retained reference.
