Abstract

dian women. She writes them in first person and assumes a Native identity. At 1988 International Feminist Book Fair in Montreal a group of Native Canadian writers decided to ask Cameron to, in their words, move over on grounds that her writings are disempowering for Native authors. She agrees.' 2. After 1989 elections in Panama are overturned by Manuel Noriega, President Bush of United States declares in a public address that Noriega's actions constitute an outrageous fraud and that the voice of Panamanian people has spoken. The Panamanian people, he tells us, democracy and not tyranny, and want Noriega out. He proceeds to plan invasion of Panama.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
