Overview
A research binder keeps aggressive content ingestion from becoming messy public copy. Every note should be filed under people, place, claim, and source before it becomes a Wiki entry, blog note, Fact Check, or place-hub update.
What this helps you learn
- People notes need privacy review before publication.
- Place notes need geography, timeline, and source context.
- Claim notes need evidence level, status, recommended wording, and review owner.
- Source notes need creator, date, repository, URL or archive path, and limits.
Careful claims
- Do not paste private research notes directly into public pages.
- Do not let one source carry more weight than it can support.
- Do not combine several claims into one paragraph before review.
Research path
- Create one row per claim.
- Attach each source to the smallest claim it supports.
- Publish cautious public copy first, then strengthen after review.
Evidence note: This starter entry is educational. Add sources, dates, maps, Community Notes, and Fact Checks as research develops.
