State What Remains Unresolved — State What Remains Unresolved

Responsible research requires clearly identifying details that remain unresolved or unverified. For example, when registering published photographs, applicants can select 'Not Known' if the nation of first publication is uncertain.

If official registries or first-party records lack necessary details, researchers must present these points as open questions. Acknowledging what is not known prevents unverified claims from being presented as established facts.
