Same-publisher alternate formats and translations, standalone social posts and automated headline aggregations are excluded from the totals. Verification records the attribution, not endorsement of an outlet’s interpretation. Access-limited sources may rely on earlier verification; the review date is not a claim that every paywalled article was reread.
