Mirror lifecycle

Track the lifecycle of an Eden Market mirror claim

A claim is time-bound, so its editorial status should be time-bound too.

Editorial scope: This guide explains public-information review methods. It does not publish, validate or route visitors to a claimed destination.

Define the observation

A claim is time-bound, so its editorial status should be time-bound too. Record the source wording, public location and observation time before deciding what the claim means.

Check the surrounding evidence

Compare the Eden Market URL, link, mirror or onion wording with the publisher context. Treat copied screenshots and repeated text as leads, not as independent proof.

Write a bounded finding

Describe the observed technical facts separately from unknowns. An Eden Market review should retain a pending or historical label whenever the evidence cannot support a current conclusion.

Set the next review trigger

Revisit this record when its source changes, a related address is corrected, a redirect changes or new attributable evidence appears. Update the public date only when the visible content changes.
