Sources and further reading
You do not need this page to read the site. It is here for anyone who wants to check a date, role, talk, project, or piece of writing for themselves.
How to read the list
Primary means a direct artifact such as my code, a historical page, or a first-party record. Official means an institution’s program, filing, roster, report, or publication. Independent means a third party describes the same event, role, or work. Personal account is my own public description, used when the experience itself is the subject.
A link may cover only one detail, so each note says why it is here and any context worth knowing. If a better source changes something on the site, I will correct the new copy while leaving already-published articles intact.
I leave personnel records, archived contacts, confidential employer material, health and financial information, third-party identities, and uncleared media out of this public list, even when they helped settle a date or detail.
