Methodology · The Railway Stations of Rajasthan
How this list is compiled
Editorial
WHAT THIS IS. Every railway station on this site's register of railway stations — the divisional cut, which is complete where the district cut is not: thirty-five stations' articles name no district, and those stations appear only here and on their division's list — in one list: the union of its 7 published division lists, 229 entries in all. It adds no entry the division lists do not carry and asserts nothing about any entry that its own page does not. ORDER. By division, the division with the most railway stations first — Ajmer Division, with 72 — and the register's own order within each division, which is alphabetical. This is a stated convenience for finding a name, not a ranking: nothing here is ordered by size, age or importance, and this publication compiles no such ordering of railway stations. WHERE THE EVIDENCE LIVES. On each entry's own page, with its source and the quote it rests on, and on its division list, whose methodology is the register's and is not repeated here. The source and its standard are stated once, on the register hub. WHAT CHANGES IT. This list is regenerated from the division lists whenever they change; a correction to a division list is a correction here.
Frequently asked
- What decides the order?
- This list is ranked on a editorial basis — see the methodology above for what that means for this list specifically.
- What counts as a source?
- Only a citation that is inline and expanded on the ranked subject's own page — never a source cited on this list alone.
- Why might an entry be missing?
- A rank is withdrawn, not renumbered, when the subject it named is no longer published. The gap stays visible rather than being closed.
- How often does this list change?
- A new dated edition, not a silent edit, is how the ranking itself changes.
