Attributions

Last updated: May 14, 2026

Getting attribution right matters. A quote carries more weight when you can trust that the person actually said it. On IdeaKache, a quote only gets an author's name attached if there is real evidence connecting the words to that person.

A quote is attributed to an author when the source meets at least one of the following standards:

1. Seen in the person's own published book;
2. Seen in an official transcript of their words;
3. Heard directly in a podcast or video recording;
4. Seen on the person's own channels; or
5. Found in a credible, named secondary source, such as a book

A quote being widely attributed to a person on the internet does not generally meet the standards of IdeaKache.

Editing Conventions

Capitalization and terminal punctuation may be silently adjusted for readability when a quote is excerpted mid-sentence. Wording is never altered without brackets or ellipses.
