How this library is maintained

  • Evergreen, not spam: pages are updated as new evidence arrives, rather than creating thin pages for every headline.
  • Primary-source links: every page includes sources so you can verify and cite safely.
  • Builder-first: short answers first, then deeper context and trade-offs.
