Historical Archive Methodology

Data quality, source precedence, and limitations.

This page documents exactly how curated timeline records and archive indexes were produced from backup artifacts, and where the evidence has hard limits.

As of: March 6, 2026

How to read this archive

  • Published verified: Direct record in canonical wp_posts.sql with post_status='publish' and post_type in ('post','page').
  • Published + corroborated: Verified record plus local corroboration (Wayback context, local media match, comments, or pingbacks).
  • Recovered/context evidence: Sitemap and analytics windows are context layers, not curation authority.

Source precedence

  • Tier 1: wp_posts.sql from /unzip/1 for curated timeline inclusion (publish + post/page only).
  • Tier 2: wp_comments, local media files, and Wayback links for corroboration metadata.
  • Tier 3: sitemap and stats reports for context windows only; never timeline curation alone.

Interpretation limits

  • Analytics/referrer reports are bounded to Jan 11, 2011 through May 26, 2011.
  • Sitemap coverage ends on 2014-03-30 and is used as support evidence, not curation authority.
  • Legacy media hosts can be offline or blocked, so direct playback cannot be guaranteed.
  • Curated timeline is intentionally selective and verified-only, while full archive index is complete.
