Source Verification

By James Anditis (Journalism)

Verify claims, check sources, and fact-check information like a journalist.

Obsidian Wiki Ingest

• Reads pasted text, files in your vault inbox, or web links you approve
• Extracts key claims, people, concepts, contradictions, and open questions
• Creates or updates linked notes only when the source adds something new
• Tracks the source behind every claim so you can trust and check it later
• Shows a full preview of planned changes before writing to your vault

Source Verification

• Evaluates source credibility using journalism checklists and the SIFT method
• Analyzes social media accounts for authenticity, bot behavior, and red flags
• Guides reverse image searches to find original sources and detect manipulated photos
• Verifies documents by checking metadata, formatting consistency, and provenance
• Creates documented verification trails showing how you confirmed or debunked claims
