## About this archive
The linked articles are third-party sources. Headlines retain the wording of the original archive, including claims, speculation, and attribution. Inclusion documents coverage rather than independently confirming every claim or authorship of a project. Matty Mo is the subject of this archive, not the author of the linked reporting.
Date labels are transcribed from the original archive and have not been independently verified against the publishers. archiveYear preserves the existing grouping, which can differ from a date in a label. No exact day or normalized publication date is inferred.
Reviewed local article text is linked by articleCopy.markdownUrl when available. Partial copies are explicitly labeled; inaccessible, video-only, or mismatched sources have a status and notes instead of a placeholder. Publisher links remain the primary sources. Local copies preserve third-party reporting under republication rights confirmed by the site owner.
This index contains 101 headlines, grouped from 2007 to 2026.
