Community Notes & Fact Checks
Make a Disputed-Claim Source Table
This field note is part of the FOBA learning stream. It is meant to orient readers and point toward better source work.
Key points
- A disputed claim needs a table before it needs a louder paragraph.
- The table should show each source, each exact detail, what it supports, what it does not support, and what privacy risk remains.
- This gives editors a fair path from Community Note to Fact Check to correction or update.
Next steps
- Use columns for source, creator, date, exact detail, claim supported, conflict, privacy risk, and recommended wording.
- Mark sensitive identity, ancestry, DNA, legal-status, descent, tribe, nationality, and membership claims as gated.
- Publish only the supported wording and keep open questions visible.
