Source checking

Begin with a statement you intend to rely on, then find the passage that supports it. The archive article applies this discipline to older versions of webpages; the AI summary article applies it to generated reading notes. Choose the route that matches your source, and keep the original question visible while you inspect the material.

Check identity, attribution, and the conditions surrounding the claim. Record the version you read, separate your interpretation from the source, and leave unresolved gaps explicit. Avoid expanding the investigation simply to collect more material. Finish when the reference supports the specific use you have in mind, or when your notes clearly explain what still needs checking.
