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.

Dashiell Hammett — Hammett served in the American Red Cross Ambulance Service during World War I, not the Army Ambulance Service.
Raymond Chandler — The entry says Chandler was 'twice hospitalized with Spanish flu during the pandemic while serving in the Canadian Expeditionary Force,' which is not widely established in standard biographies and may be unverifiable.
Erle Stanley Gardner — Gardner's uncredited cameo as a judge was in the final episode 'The Case of the Final Fade-Out' (1966), not in the 1960 episode 'The Case of the Deadly Verdict'.
Patricia Highsmith — Highsmith's birth name was Mary Patricia Plangman, not Mary Patricia Highsmith; she took the surname Highsmith legally as a child.
Patricia Highsmith — The claim that she wrote comic book scripts for 'Jap Buster' is inaccurate; this character is not a known Highsmith credit.
Ruth Rendell — Rendell's mother was not Danish; she was born in Sweden and was of Swedish descent.
Ruth Rendell — Rendell did not introduce the bill that became the Female Genital Mutilation Act 2003; she introduced a Private Member's bill, but the actual Act was introduced by the government later.
