Sources

Sources are raw material. The archive is what we build from them.

A source appears under a fact only when that specific claim can be found in it. Source counts are never padded: we do not add sources to make an entry look stronger.

What we draw on

• Production material — studio and press material, production notes, official websites.
• Interviews and appearances — print, video and television interviews with cast and crew.
• Home-video extras — DVD and Blu-ray featurettes and commentary tracks.
• Official statements and posts — from studios, developers, cast and crew.
• Reference works — including Wikipedia, whose text is used under CC BY-SA and credited with a link to the exact revision.
• Reputable and specialist publications — established entertainment, trade and games press.

How we weigh them

• Primary — first-hand statements and material from the people or companies involved.
• Official — studio, network, publisher or developer communications.
• Reputable secondary — publications and reference works with editorial standards.

One primary source is worth more than five blog posts that repeat each other.

Metadata and images

Film, television and people metadata and images come from TMDB through its API. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. Game metadata comes from Wikidata (CC0); game artwork is publisher-supplied store material. Posters and stills are shown for identification; rights remain with their owners.

What we do not use

We do not scrape sites that do not permit it, and we do not build facts on data we have no right to use. Material collected in ways that do not allow reuse is not used as evidence here.

Information from external sources is independently selected, consolidated and edited by Arka Evren. Sources are provided for verification and further reading.
