Write only what the page says

Put the URL under that sentence. If a later recap adds a number or a date, keep the original page as the record.

Quote the claim, name one install, and write the questions the page leaves open.

Do the site's check on this one page. Fill a line only when the page supports it. Where the page is silent, write Not stated.

A finished note names the page, the date, and the limit of the claim. It does not borrow a result from a different story.
