Source archive
The Randypedia source archive is a local research corpus used to build and verify this encyclopedia. It currently catalogs 1,584 videos from Randy Charles Johnson's three known YouTube channels and contains 1,251 usable text transcripts.

Transcript availability is lower than the video total because some videos have subtitles disabled or unavailable. Text and VTT copies of the same captions are counted once. A transcript is considered usable when it contains substantive text rather than an unavailable marker.
Editorial method
Detailed articles summarize Randy's own statements and link to the source videos. Automatically transcribed speech can contain errors, especially in names and punctuation, so sensitive claims are explicitly attributed to Randy and should not be presented as independently verified fact. Thin pages now expose transcript evidence instead of pretending that a video title alone constitutes a complete article.
Obsidian cross-reference
The source totals, three channel identities, chronology, and major biographical themes were reconciled against the Obsidian note Randy Charles Johnson - A Biography. The catalogue is validated as individual 11-character YouTube IDs and is updated incrementally from the channel's Videos and Shorts tabs.
