The Source Check

When Nolorem finishes writing a post, it goes back over what it wrote. Every sentence carrying something concrete, a figure, a percentage, an amount, a date or a named organisation, is checked against the research sources the post was written from.

The point is narrow and worth stating plainly: Nolorem will not publish a specific claim that none of your sources support. That is not the same as promising the post contains no mistakes, and this page is careful about the difference.

Where to find it

Open any post in the editor and click Source check in the icon rail. If the check found something that needs you, the icon carries a badge.

Reading the panel

The panel opens with a line like "18 sentences with figures or names checked against 9 sources", and then a short list. Each line means something different, and the second one is the one people misread.

• Traced to a source. The check found a passage in one of your sources that carries this statement. You can click through and read that passage with the relevant words marked.
• Checked, nothing against them. The check read the sentence and found nothing wrong with it, and also found nothing that positively backs it up. This is the largest group in a typical post, and it is mostly the reasoning, explanation and advice that an article is actually for. Treat it as "no objection", not as "verified".
• Corrected by Nolorem itself. While writing, the check found a statement the sources did not support and rewrote it before you ever saw the post. The count is shown so the work is visible.
• Waiting for you. Statements no source supports, which Nolorem will not decide on by itself.

When a post is held back

If anything is still waiting for you, the post is held for review. Publishing refuses a held post, and a scheduled post is skipped on its date rather than going out unchecked. The post is not lost and nothing is deleted; it simply will not go live while a statement in it stands unsupported.

Each finding gives you the sentence, what the check says about it, and the source it looked at. You have four ways out:

1. Use the replacement. Nolorem prepared a rewritten sentence at the moment it checked. It is a narrower, better supported version of what you had.
2. Keep as written. You know something the sources do not carry. Your judgement wins and the finding is recorded as handled.
3. Remove the sentence. Sometimes nothing survives taking the claim out, and the panel says so.
4. Edit it yourself in the post, in your own words.

When you are sure, you can also publish a held post anyway. That leaves the findings on the post and changes nothing about the text.

"This sentence has changed since it was checked"

If you edited a sentence after the check ran, Nolorem can no longer place a replacement in it, and it says so instead of offering a button that would do nothing. Click the sentence to find it in the text and handle it yourself.

Posts that were never checked

An older post, or one where the check could not run, shows Not checked. That is not the same as clean: nothing has been verified. You can run the check yourself from the panel. It reads the post as it stands and only reports what it finds, without changing your text.

If the check could not run, the panel tells you why: it timed out, the AI service could not be reached, or none of the post's sources could be read. That last one matters, because it means the post leans on the model's own knowledge rather than on anything anyone can look up.

What the check does not do

• It does not track which sentence came from which article. It asks whether a claim can be found somewhere in your sources, not in which one exactly.
• It does not check sentences with nothing concrete in them. An opinion or a general statement has nothing to verify.
• It does not make the post correct. It removes a specific class of error, the invented figure and the false attribution, which is the class that does the most damage to a published article.

Naming sources in the text

Separately from the check, Nolorem names its sources while writing: a figure or a named finding taken from a source is attributed to that source in the sentence, with the source name as the link. It deliberately varies how it does that, rather than opening every second sentence the same way, and it does not attribute the parts of the article that are your own reasoning.
