James Bond 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.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Miss Moneypenny — The entry incorrectly claims Lois Maxwell was absent from On Her Majesty's Secret Service; she appeared in every Eon Bond film released between Dr. No and A View to a Kill.

Miss Moneypenny — The entry states Eve Moneypenny became 'head of intelligence analysis'; canonically, she remains M's personal secretary/assistant throughout the Craig-era films without holding that specific official title.

M — Claim that M is explicitly named Admiral Sir Miles Messervy in Ian Fleming's original novels is incorrect; Fleming never gave M a first name in the primary text (14 novels/2 short stories). The name 'Miles Messervy' was introduced by later continuation authors

Q — Desmond Llewelyn was credited as 'Major Boothroyd' until Moonraker (1979), not The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). He was first referred to as Q in dialogue in The Spy Who Loved Me.

Auric Goldfinger — In the original novel, Goldfinger collaborates with SMERSH (specifically General Gogol), not the GRU, and remains an independent criminal making a deal with them rather than being a member of Soviet intelligence.

Auric Goldfinger — There is no established historical claim regarding a gold dealer named 'Charles Goldfinger'; the alternative theory typically refers to an unnamed gold dealer, while Fleming confirmed architect Erno Goldfinger as the inspiration.

James Bond — The encyclopedia entry incorrectly claims Bond does not drink whiskey in 'Casino Royale'; canonically, he drinks a glass of whisky and soda during his recovery scene in Chapter 23.

CIA — The encyclopedia incorrectly claims CIA safe houses are located in Cuba and the Bahamas; canonical Eon films establish Felix Leiter's operational bases as New Orleans (CIA) and Key West/Cuba (DEA), with no explicit confirmation of CIA safe houses in those spec

SMERSH — SMERSH first appears in the novel 'Casino Royale' (1953), not 'Moonraker'.

SMERSH — SPECTRE did not replace SMERSH starting with 'Dr. No', as SMERSH features prominently in the subsequent film 'From Russia with Love' (1963).

Q Branch — Attributing actor Desmond Llewelyn to the character's existence within Ian Fleming's novels, where he does not appear.

Q Branch — Listing 1962 as the character's first appearance without qualification, ignoring Major Boothroyd's literary debut in Diamonds Are Forever (1956).
