Overview
This guide formalizes a citation lane for alias tables and parish source notes so same-name and translation risks remain visible in public-facing research.
What this helps you learn
- Track alias type per citation row.
- Pair parish notes with location/date checks.
- Label unresolved merges before publication.
Careful claims
- Do not treat alias matches as certified identity.
- Do not hide translation uncertainty.
- Do not merge conflicting rows without review notes.
Research path
- Build alias rows with original and translated forms.
- Attach claim status to each row.
- Route contested same-person merges through Source Review.
Evidence note: This starter entry is educational. Add sources, dates, maps, Community Notes, and Fact Checks as research develops.
