Use the Tools

Choose a method for checking information, auditing a claim, documenting an event, or contributing a correction.

Every page is an entrance. This page shows a route; it does not force a reading order.

Tools on this site serve different purposes. Use the smallest tool that fits the actual task.

Tools do not create authority

A clean form, persuasive audit, or verified source does not authorize publication of protected knowledge or allow an outsider to speak for a people. Method improves answerability only inside legitimate boundaries.
