Writers & Poets 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: 2026-08-27 · 10 entries checked · 5 flagged · 10 issues confirmed · 5 corrected · 5 still open

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Ghalib — The entry states Ghalib's father died in battle in 1802, but the more widely accepted date is 1803.

Ghalib — The entry claims Ghalib never worked for a livelihood, but he held a stipend from the British East India Company and received a pension, contradicting the claim.

Gotthold Ephraim Lessing — The entry states Lessing co-founded the periodical Beiträge zur Historie und Aufnahme des Theaters in 1749, but it was actually founded in 1750.

Gotthold Ephraim Lessing — The entry says Lessing was initiated into Freemasonry in the lodge 'Zu den drei Goldenen Rosen', but the more widely accepted lodge name is 'Zu den drei Rosen'.

Jin Yong — Jin Yong was the second of eight children including half-siblings, not seven.

Jin Yong — Zha Shuqing's conviction was quashed and he was posthumously exonerated, not simply 'declared innocent'.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe — The entry refers to Goethe's Italian journey as a '1788 tour of Italy', but the journey conventionally spanned 1786–1788, making the phrasing factually imprecise.

John Steinbeck — Steinbeck did not attend the opening night of the stage adaptation of Of Mice and Men in New York; he was in California at the time.
