Explorers_And_Conquistadors Codexery — Data & Quality

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.

Last full accuracy audit: 2026-09-05 · 9 entries checked · 5 flagged · 7 issues confirmed · 5 corrected · 2 still open

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Gaspar Corte-Real — Gaspar Corte-Real was the second of three sons, not the youngest; the 'DID YOU KNOW' section incorrectly states he was the youngest.

George Vancouver — The entry states that Mount Vancouver is New Zealand's fourth-highest mountain, which is incorrect; it is not ranked fourth-highest.

John Hanning Speke — Speke's uncle was John Hanning, not John Lee

John Hanning Speke — Speke was promoted to brevet major in 1850, not 1852

John Lloyd Stephens — Stephens was born in Shrewsbury Township, New Jersey, but the area later known as Red Bank is in Middletown Township, not Shrewsbury Township. The correct location is Shrewsbury, New Jersey (or Shrewsbury Township), but Red Bank is a separate municipality.

John Smith (explorer) — The entry states Smith was granted a coat of arms by Sigismund Báthory, Prince of Transylvania, but there is no evidence he was formally knighted; the 'DID YOU KNOW' section claims he was knighted, which is not supported by established canon.
