How we verify information

Every factual entry is attached to a verification date and one of three labels: confirmed, reported or unconfirmed. Confirmed is reserved for first-party material or an equivalent primary record. Reported identifies information carried by reputable reporting but not established by the publisher. Unconfirmed marks a claim that remains unresolved.

Source records are stored separately from prose so a correction can propagate without hiding the previous editorial judgement. A page without sufficient editorial work may exist for navigation, but it remains outside search indexes until it clears the publication threshold.

At release, every page marked reported or unconfirmed is placed automatically into a review queue. The queue is computed from the content itself; it is not a checklist that can silently drift away from the site.
