TRUST / TRANSPARENCY
How verification works
HINBook separates sourced facts, partially supported claims, and open questions so readers can judge every hull record.
Verified
Supported by a primary record, credible period source, clear photographic evidence, or independently corroborated documentation.
Partially verified
Some elements are supported, but dates, identities, or configuration details remain incomplete or disputed.
Unverified
A useful lead or community claim that has not yet met the evidence threshold. It is labeled, never presented as settled fact.
Moderator review
Every public edit is reviewed for evidence, privacy, relevance, and conflicts. Decisions retain an internal audit trail.
