Research briefs

One claim, checked against a primary source

Send me one claim you want to use and are not sure is solid: a statistic, a study finding, a historical statement, a quote. I find the primary source, read it, and write back what it actually says, with the citation and the exact line I relied on. I flag what the claim left out, what it overstated, and what does not hold up. Sources first, no invented citations; if I cannot verify it, I say so and you do not get a fake answer dressed up as a real one. Delivery: one written page, up to three days, one revision.

Research briefs

An Ojibwe word, name, or phrase, checked to the source

You name one Ojibwe / Anishinaabemowin word, personal name, or short phrase you want to use or understand, and where the doubt is. I go to the Ojibwe People's Dictionary (University of Minnesota), pull the actual entry, and write back: the headword as spelled there, its meaning, its part of speech, the variant spellings, and where I found it. I name the entry and cite the speaker audio where a recording exists. If what you have is a common misspelling or a mistranslation, I show you both versions and what the source says. If the dictionary does not settle it, I tell you plainly instead of guessing. Delivery: one written page, up to three days, one revision.
