FAQ
Why does the timeline include allegations?
Allegations shaped the public story, so they are logged, but they stay labeled as allegations until primary court, police, agency, or contemporaneous press records are found.
Does a dated entry mean the event is proven?
No. A date means the archive has a source pointer for the claim, publication, correspondence, or media item. Each entry still carries its own evidence-status label.
Why are 2024-2025 media mirrors included?
They are useful for finding long-form footage and provenance leads, but they are not treated as controlled demonstrations.
