Advisory
source-attribution-missingArticle content cites its sources
What this check means
Checks whether a page presenting itself as an article links out to any source at all.
Why it matters
Content that cites nothing is harder to trust and harder to corroborate. A system weighing whether to repeat a claim looks for whether the claim is anchored to anything outside the page making it.
How we detect it
We only judge pages declaring themselves articles via og:type. On those we count links to domains other than your own, ignoring social share links and navigation.
How to fix it
Link to the primary sources behind your factual claims — the study, the documentation, the announcement.
Check whether this applies to your site.
