Public data and research

Datasets, methodologies, and reproducible public records published by joshliljenquist.com.

This catalog explains what each dataset measures, the unit it counts, its snapshot or review date, available formats, and the page that owns its methodology. Some records describe Josh's public work directly; others compile public-source research about Minnesota or creator activity.

How to read this catalog

Counts use different units

Campaigns, organizations, accounts, stories, identities, and video editions are different units. Their counts should not be added together. Snapshot dates also vary, and a site review date is not automatically the date on which every underlying fact was observed.

This catalog is published by Josh Liljenquist's official website. Records about Josh are first-party; public-source research here is a first-party compilation of cited external sources, not an independent audit. Where provided, consult the publisher, snapshot or review date, and linked landing or methodology page for scope and limitations. Submit documented corrections through the site's corrections route. No reuse license is implied where none is stated.

Methodology and reuse

Read the canonical method before comparing data

Source classes differ

First-party reference datasets document Josh's own accounts, campaigns, organizations, or projects. Compiled research datasets use public platform records, institutional sources, official biographies, professional records, government data, and independent reporting according to the method linked on each card.

Views are not always new datasets

A platform, city, or regional page may be a filtered or derived view of a larger source dataset. The catalog lists the stable owner once and names related views without treating every alias as an independent collection.

Citation guidance

When citing a dataset, include its title, snapshot or version, and canonical URL. Dataset facts do not grant reuse rights to third-party articles, images, platform content, or other copyrighted source material.

Corrections

Use the factual correction process for a supported data correction. Preserve the original source's dates and scope when describing the issue.

Machine-readable catalog

Use the catalog index

The downloadable machine catalog is version 4.1.0. Its 25 entries include 21 featured cards and four compact research summaries below; all 25 have a human-readable owner. catalog.json publishes the machine-readable dataset inventory with available IDs, counts and units, formats, canonical pages, methodology links, source summaries, relationships, and snapshot information.
