Field notes
The homepage links its chronology to CC0 Wikidata and says the dates are checked and rebuilt monthly. It describes a policy for uncertain lifespans: show a range when possible and omit people whose dates are too uncertain. One extracted section labeled 1789 also lists figures from other centuries, leaving the role of that list unclear.
