Scan first
We check exact and near matches before an origin record can start.
Drop the line. We check who said it first — then if it's yours, we put it on the record with a timestamp, a context note, and a page you can link to.
People can be wrong without trying to cheat. The system has to catch both honest misses and bad-faith copycats, then leave a trail for reviewers.
We check exact and near matches before an origin record can start.
If an older source appears, reviewers compare the timeline instead of guessing.
Verification pages let people submit older links, wording, and context.
A good-faith origin claim can become attribution or archive. Bad-faith claims can be hidden.
Every accepted line gets a timestamp, quote fingerprint, context trail, and public verification page.
New records are checked before they are treated as fresh origins, keeping the library useful instead of noisy.
Each line can become a discoverable answer to who said it, where it appeared, and why people repeat it.
