The Attribution Report

A small, checkable report on how RiseHush records quotation sources — what is in the ledger, what the numbers mean, and what this dataset cannot prove.

The finding

The useful number is not the biggest number.

The current RiseHush web catalog contains 158 unique source-catalog records across 40 public web collections, with 220 placements after duplicate records are merged by author, wording, and source locator. The public Correctly Credited desk adds 50 documented wording or attribution corrections and 2 explicitly unverified leads.

The 35-category figure describes the in-app library. The 40-collection figure describes the public web information architecture. They are different denominators and should not be combined into one claim. This report makes that distinction explicit.

How the records distribute

Sixteen named voices, one visible standard.

The current catalog contains 51 distinct leading source labels after a simple text grouping. The number is descriptive, not a quality score: a source locator still needs to be checked against the edition and translation a reader intends to reuse.

What changed in this edition

The evidence is now easier to inspect.

  • The catalog has a canonical landing page plus CSV and JSON exports.
  • Each source-catalog record exposes its current wording, attributed author, source locator, and collection placement.
  • Fifty correction records document commonly altered or misattributed lines with an evidence trail and earliest traceable appearance.
  • Common research leads can be searched in Correctly Credited without upgrading uncertainty into a verdict.
  • The review date and correction route are visible on each public record.

Limits and next edition

A larger corpus is not automatically a better corpus.

The 50 correction records are a researched starting point, not an exhaustive misquotation database. Some rows still identify a closest traceable source rather than a final origin, and every translation or edition can change wording. The next edition should deepen primary-source checks and expand toward the 120-entry launch threshold without converting uncertainty into a confident-looking verdict.
