Check Attribution
check_attributionGiven a quote and (optionally) the author it is claimed to be by, return one of four verdicts: "verified" (genuine, with citation), "misattributed" (no primary source — popular but fake), "paraphrase_of_verified" (popular corruption of a real quote, returns the actual text), or "no_match" (not in corpus). Useful for journalists, researchers, and anyone tired of fake Mark Twain quotes.
