### Data Fields
The data fields are the same among all splits.

- **`url`** (str): The full URL from which the article was extracted.
- **`date_extracted`** (str): The timestamp of the date on which the article was extracted. It has the format `YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss`.

- **`author`** (str): The author of the article. Contains missing values that were replaced with an empty string.
