How this page is made
Coded dupes are compiled from maker pages and independent sources. "Stated by the maker": the dupe maker’s own statement. "Several independent sources": at least two sources that do not copy each other give the same match. "Single source family (community)": only one community source family, counting sites that copy each other as one.
