Written article and reference entries read. Not fully processed: images, native preservation, presentation settings and primary-source corroboration remain open.

Source argument

The article describes the whiskey-sour family and juxtaposes an 1870 newspaper mention with a later Chilean invention account.

Evidence map

Lines 3–13: ingredients and Boston, Scotch, Bourbon, New York and Ward 8 variants. Lines 16–17: January 4, 1870 newspaper citation versus the Stubb 1872 story retold in 1962 and a 1988 book. All five references and the Spanish passages read. Two citations refer to the same newspaper clipping, not independent evidence.

Locators refer to the local LINK-201 numbered extraction of revision 1367583845. No unverified direct quotations or independent claim records promoted.

Researcher synthesis

The article's own chronology requires distinguishing an earlier documented mention from a later origin tale. Preserve the Chilean story as attributed lore pending original evidence. A sour need not possess bitterness; named variations do not exhaust the recipe family.

Assessment

1870mention precedes1872invention lore; two references repeat same clipping; photos unreviewed. Obtain the original 1870 clipping and trace earlier recipes before asserting earliest known use. Check the provenance of the Stubb story. Image review, preservation and publication corroboration remain open.

Preservation reconciliation — September 8, 2026

The original HTML snapshot is now included in the native Wikipedia-Captures-173-218.zip package on No access. Earlier preservation-pending language is superseded for that HTML only. Local original hashes and ZIP integrity were checked; native attachment presence was refetched. Remote images/assets were not bundled and a new cloud-byte comparison was not performed. Written-source reading does not establish that every cited work or illustration was reviewed. Other source-specific holds remain unchanged.

Illustration check — September 12, 2026

Both cocktail photographs could not be retrieved (HTTP 429). Captions and full text remain processed, but photo pixels remain unreviewed. Source remains partial.

Successful image downloads and the exact failed URL log are preserved in the Wikipedia seven-review media archive on No access. This is an access hold, not missing permission. No claim of complete source coverage or publication clearance.
