This page explains how claims on this site get made, what counts as documented, and how corrections work. It exists because credibility is the only thing this archive actually has to offer.
A claim on this site is documented when it traces back to something concrete: a court filing, a financial record, a dated message, an audio recording, or public reporting from an established outlet. Named individuals and dated events are preferred over paraphrase and inference.
Every claim gets attributed to where it came from. Messages and communications from third parties get attributed to their actual source and chain of custody, not just quoted as if they arrived directly. For example, messages from Maria Farmer are always attributed as forwarded through Zev Shalev to Troy, never as direct contact, because that is what actually happened.
It does not present speculation as fact, does not quote anonymous claims as verified evidence, and does not treat a screenshot alone as proof without checking it against the underlying record where one exists.
When something published here turns out to be wrong, or more precise information becomes available, a correction gets published as its own piece rather than a silent edit. The corrections page lists every correction issued on this archive.
Most articles in the archive are preserved as they originally appeared, including screenshots and page layouts, rather than reformatted into plain text. That preserves the original record but means these pages are not searchable in the ordinary sense. The search page can find articles by title and series while that limitation stands.
If you believe something on this site is inaccurate, or you have documentation that adds to or corrects a claim, use the contact below. Named documentation is taken far more seriously than general disagreement without anything behind it.
