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.

Vasco Núñez de Balboa — The settlement Santa María la Antigua del Darién was located in what is now Panama, not Colombia.
Vasco Núñez de Balboa — Balboa was appointed governor of Darién, not Veragua; Veragua was a separate jurisdiction.
Vicente Yáñez Pinzón — The entry states Pinzón ascended the Amazon River about fifty miles, but reliable primary sources only support that he sighted its mouth and noted the freshwater current, not that he ascended it.
Vicente Yáñez Pinzón — The entry claims Pinzón 'discovered' the Oiapoque River, but this is disputed and not universally credited to him; the phrasing is too definitive for established canon.
Walter Raleigh — Raleigh was knighted in 1585, but historically he was knighted in 1584 (or possibly early 1585 depending on calendar, but widely accepted date is 1584).
