Description
Choose a supplied oral-history credit or requested mask for display.
Community-supplied names, credits, permissions and source versions carry their own authority and context. A recorded access or precision label does not itself grant permission or hide a location. Preserving requested wording and attribution order is distinct from authenticating rights, community approval or adequate protection.

}Limitations and assumptions
- This does not anonymize underlying data or establish valid permission, preferred attribution or publication rights.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Consult the original community-provided permissions, attribution instructions and controlled records for actual use. Apply access and location protection to the underlying material, rather than treating a display mask or status label as the complete safeguard.
