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.

Tropic of Capricorn — The claim that only two countries are entirely south of the Tropic of Capricorn (Eswatini and Lesotho) is incorrect because Eswatini is not entirely south of the Tropic, and Uruguay and New Zealand are also entirely south of it.
Circle of latitude — The entry states the drift of the Tropical and Polar Circles is 'currently by about 15 m per year', but the current rate of change of Earth's axial tilt corresponds to roughly 22 meters per year, not 15.
Geographical zone — The claim that Parmenides first hypothesized the geographical zones is disputed; the earliest known attribution is to Pythagoras or his followers.
Geographical zone — The claim that Aristotle did not define the Torrid Zone with precise degree measurements is misleading; Aristotle gave approximate latitudinal limits.
