Their talking point: "It's self-published; check the National Archives and peer-reviewed work"
Year: 2026
SUMMARYANSWER: we agree, and we go further. Every Record card links to the primary source itself (the court reporter, the census page, the National Archives roll, the Library of Congress scan), so nobody has to trust us. Peer review is welcome; a citation to a primary record outranks anyone's opinion of it, ours included. WHERE WE STAND, Record: 948 cards; 609 carry a Record; 117 of those don't name a source yet; 81 link a primary archive directly. THE WORK: close the 117 first, then link the primary scan on every Record, 10 cards per batch, reviewed. COLONIZER COMEBACK: "Self-published means unreliable." Their own record (census, court rulings, rolls, laws) is what our cards quote; if the receipt is wrong, so is their archive.
VERDICTjudge each card by its receipt. Open the source and check it yourself
