nflverse

CC BY 4.0

Data by the nflverse project, CC BY 4.0.

Every NFL game from 1999 onwards — regular season, wild card, divisional, conference championship and Super Bowl — with final scores and venues. Taken from the nflverse-data release, not from nflverse/nfldata: the two carry the same games, but only the release is licensed. Each row also carries the ESPN game id, so games already held from the live feed are matched on an identifier both sides agree on rather than on a date and a pair of teams.

Wikidata

CC0 1.0 (public domain)

No attribution required. Credited here because a source register that lists only the sources that demand credit is not a register.

Founding years, home grounds and capacities for clubs; dates of birth, nationality and FIDE identifiers for individuals. Structured facts only — we compose our own sentences from them. Wikipedia article text is deliberately NOT used: it carries a share-alike obligation and, more to the point, the same paragraphs are already published on thousands of sites, so reprinting them on 3,975 pages here would read to a search engine as duplicated filler. Wikipedia is linked, never copied.
