Sources that have produced nothing

Watched, reachable, and yet nothing from them has ever reached the archive. Listed because a watchlist you cannot audit is a watchlist you cannot trust.

Sources whose work is not individually credited

These are read through Forager, and until 22 August every item fetched that way was filed simply as "Forager". They have contributed 112 published findings between them; we cannot yet say which came from which. Runs from now on record the originating source.

20 sources.
  • JASN (page, needs Forager)
