How it is made

Each relationship is taken from a published Yesterday's Architects profile and must be stated in it; a verbatim quote is checked before an editor approves it. Claims the profile calls disputed or legendary are left out. Wikidata and Wikipedia matches are checked by hand. New profiles are added weekly.
