We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Timeline of United States discoveries — Baker Island was first sighted in 1818 by Captain Elisha Folger is incorrect; Baker Island was discovered in 1832 by Captain Michael Baker.
Timeline of United States inventions (before 1890) — The entry inaccurately describes Benjamin Franklin's flexible urinary catheter as made of 'hinged or articulated silver segments'; historically, it was made of a flexible silver tube with a wire coil.
Timeline of United States inventions (after 1991) — The scroll wheel entry incorrectly claims U.S. Patent #6,940,488 is the earliest scroll wheel patent; the earliest is actually U.S. Patent #5,530,455.
Allura Red AC — The claim that California banned Allura Red AC in public schools in September 2024 is inaccurate; the law was signed in September 2024 but takes effect in December 2027.
Anamorphic format — The entry states the short film was titled 'To Build a Fire' in 1927, but the correct title is 'Fait-divers' (or 'Construire un feu').
Anamorphic format — The entry states Chrétien developed the process to provide a wide angle viewer for military tanks, but it was developed for military periscopes (tanks and submarines) for observation.
Announcement of polio vaccine success — The entry states 'At least one hundred million people had contributed to the March of Dimes,' but historical accounts typically cite millions of donors, not precisely 100 million, making this an exaggeration or misstatement.
