What this status means

Status recorded: 2026-09-16. This is separate from the source-reading and actor-review dates.

How record statuses work

Publication dates and source age

Sources counted: 1

Newest dated source: 2026-04-08

At least one source was published within the 18-month window.

Assessed at this edition's evidence cutoff: 2026-09-16. 18-month boundary: 2025-03-16.

Publication age does not tell us whether a claim is still valid. Reading an old source again does not make its publication date newer. An update date does not establish that the passage we used was updated.
