The exact change

Before

DMCC is the largest and most popular free zone in Dubai, named the Global Free Zone of the Year by the Financial Times' fDi Magazine for nine consecutive years, hosting over 25,000 member companies. JAFZA... over 10,000 companies operate within JAFZA, including major multinationals.

After

DMCC is the largest and most popular free zone in Dubai, named the Global Free Zone of the Year by the Financial Times' fDi Magazine for nine consecutive years, hosting over 26,000 member companies. JAFZA... over 11,000 companies operate within JAFZA, including major multinationals.

Suggested change

Removed a fabricated "our analysts" authority-voice instance, updated the DMCC free zone member count from 25,000 to 26,000, updated the JAFZA free zone company count from 10,000 to 11,000, and removed 4 fabricated academic citations from the references list, including two with fake DOIs that resolved to nothing, one whose DOI resolved to an unrelated engineering paper, and one whose DOI resolved to a different real article by a different author.

Why this is better

Both free zone company counts were stale; current DMCC and JAFZA membership figures are higher than the previously published numbers, and the article also removed four fabricated academic citations from its references list.

How this record is verified

  • The contribution is tied to a real, identified contributor, not an anonymous byline.
  • It counts only because the publisher, Corpy, accepted it. Self-claimed work earns nothing.
  • It is recorded against a specific page and cannot be bought or edited after the fact.
