## Research notes

- published\_on is null because a Wikipedia article has no publication date. The page footer showed 'last edited on 20 July 2026, at 03:09 (UTC)' when accessed; that is a revision timestamp, not a publication date.
- Tertiary source, used because the citing record itself notes that a primary DOJ release for the transfer date could not be retrieved. The article attributes the 5 August 2022 first-appearance detail to a Department of Justice statement, which would be the primary source to substitute.
- The article says 'extradited'; the citing person\_action uses the transfer framing.
