What a contribution label means

Claimed contribution

The creator supplied a video link, role and scope. Authorship has not been independently checked.

Public credit reviewed

An independent reviewer checked a public credit link. The credit applies to the described contribution.

Supporting evidence reviewed

An administrator reviewed supporting material. This is separate from confirmation by a client.

Client confirmed

A checked owner of the publishing channel confirmed the specific contribution after video-to-channel attribution was checked. Self-confirmation is blocked.

Historical source verification

This status was set on the profile. It is different from a channel-confirmed credit.

Reports and disputes

Reports are private. Revoked channel ownership or withdrawn contributions remove current confirmation counts. Edits require renewed verification.
