Use this structure so another member can verify the claim quickly:

  • Label: [CONFIRMED], [REPORT], [RUMOR] or [CORRECTION]
  • Claim: one precise sentence
  • Original source: direct URL, publisher and publication date
  • What the source proves: quote or paraphrase only the relevant part
  • What remains unknown: the limit of the evidence
  • Your conclusion: confirmed, plausible, unsupported, misleading or false

Do not use a thumbnail, AI summary or another aggregator as proof when the original page is available. Keep titles factual rather than sensational. Staff may correct the label, merge duplicates or add context without treating a good-faith mistake as misconduct.
