Lesson
A verification log lists each claim, the record that supports it, where the record came from, when you retrieved it, and what remains unconfirmed. It is what turns a conclusion into something a reader can check.
Publishing what you could not confirm is part of the method, not an admission of failure. The Sources page on this site does that in its limits section.
