Original reading, linked evidence
Atlas essays and historical explainers are Bunker Buddy writing. Factual sections identify the sources used so readers can inspect the record and challenge the interpretation.
Sources // Rights // Corrections
SHOW THE RECEIPTS.
Paintball history lives across oral accounts, event records, old magazines, community threads, broadcasts, and changing league sites. Bunker Buddy connects those fragments while keeping provenance, copyright, and uncertainty in view.
Headline index, not copied newsroom
News and video cards use publisher-supplied titles, dates, short metadata, and direct destinations. Article bodies, paywalled coverage, and full transcripts remain with their publishers.
Public facts, not a PBLeagues mirror
A roster or event reference may identify a publicly listed player, team, season, division, date, result, and canonical source. Bunker Buddy does not publish private accounts, contact data, messages, or the contents of authenticated profiles.
Identity is never guessed
A matching name is not enough to merge two player records. Team, event, season, and source context stay attached, and uncertain identities remain separate until stronger public evidence supports a connection.
Old media stays in context
Magazine issues, community threads, archived pages, and broadcast coverage are research leads. The Atlas can cite, summarize, and link them without republishing full posts, scans, articles, photographs, or videos.
Evidence depth stays visible
A source index is not the same as an editorial profile. Directly sourced facts, original analysis, uncertain claims, and open research questions should look different on the page.
Freshness is visible
Live desks show source response times and publication dates. A stale or unavailable feed is labeled by status instead of being replaced with invented current information.
Remote previews stay remote
When a publisher feed supplies an allowed preview image, the browser may request it directly from that publisher. Bunker Buddy does not download, rehost, or proxy that file.

THE INDEX POINTS OUT. IT DOES NOT TAKE OVER.
Write the synthesis
Bunker Buddy explains the significance in its own words and links the evidence used.
Leave the original intact
Long-form articles, forum posts, scans, photographs, and broadcasts stay at the rights holder or archive.
Quote only what is needed
Any excerpt should be short, attributed, contextual, and no substitute for opening the source.
Honor removal and correction
Rights, attribution, identity, or accuracy concerns are reviewed against the displayed source trail.
PBLeagues boundary
PUBLIC COMPETITION RECORD, WITH THE SOURCE STILL IN CHARGE.
Bunker Buddy is independent and is not PBLeagues, PBLi, or an official league record. A public reference exists to help a reader find the official page, not to replace registration, classification, eligibility, schedules, statistics, or results.
Only the minimum public facts needed to identify an event or roster appearance belong in the Atlas. Authenticated account contents, credentials, private messages, contact details, private media, and bulk personal profiles do not.
If Bunker Buddy and PBLeagues disagree, the canonical PBLeagues page is the operational source of truth and the Atlas should be corrected or clearly dated.
