Sources & credits

A public record of where the facts come from, what each source is used for, and which images belong to the publisher.

Research window

Checked through November 1, 2026.

The public record will keep changing after launch. This page lists the sources used for the pre-launch edition of the site. Individual pages carry their own source lists and verification dates; those are the most specific record.

The use of a source does not mean that source endorses this project. It means we used it as evidence for a claim. Where sources disagree, the page explains the discrepancy rather than silently choosing the more convenient version.
