Round six: reported big cat

Checked September 8, 2026.

  • Added vineland-black-cat-reports-2007 from Sam Wood’s May 2, 2007 contemporary Inquirer report: https://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/new_jersey/20070502A_panther_on_the_prowl_in_Vineland.html
  • Read the full accessible article. Distinguishes witnesses’ interpretations, animal control’s domestic-cat explanation, police uncertainty and the state search finding no tracks or droppings. Does not claim that a panther was confirmed or that no later resolution exists.
  • No copyrighted photograph or article copied locally. Combined article-derived prose, metadata and changelog summary remain below 200 words.
  • Historical panther searches did not produce a sufficiently verified local primary record for this slot; no thin historical claim added.

Integration review

  • Corrected Gabreil Daveis Tavern’s title and lede to reflect the newly inspected license addendum. Updated stale source-limit wording on the Allen School and Barclay entries. These remain updates in the community agent’s eighteen-item manifest.
  • Added the public-domain 1888 school-report title and appendix page 42 to the existing new Buddtown entry. Copied complete source pages 7 and 154 from the State Library PDF and rendered a readable preview; visually checked the appendix. The companion provenance file records repository URL, selected pages, processing, rights basis and source SHA-256. This does not add another story to the count.
  • Independently checked the September 2021 swamp-pink review’s cover date and reported change from one to sixteen racemes after fencing; reviewed all science additions and the community narratives for consistency.

  • Normalized the four additional wildman entries to the established Topics category and expanded their original-page captions with publication/repository details and download links; completed PDF listings in their provenance file.
