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.

Saskia Sassen — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section states she earned a master's degree in philosophy from the University of Poitiers in 1974, but the correct year is 1970.
Harold Lasswell — The entry states Lasswell earned a bachelor's degree in philosophy and economics, but his bachelor's degree was actually in philosophy and political science.
Paul Lazarsfeld — The entry states Lazarsfeld married Marie Jahoda in 1926, but they actually married in 1927.
Stanley Cohen (sociologist) — The LORE section states he 'participated in the National Deviancy Symposium.' The correct name is the 'National Deviancy Conference' (NDC), not 'Symposium.'
C. Wright Mills — The entry states Mills's parents were 'pious Catholics of Irish-English descent,' but widely accepted biographies describe his mother as a devout Episcopalian and his father as a nominal Catholic, not both pious Catholics.
Immanuel Wallerstein — The entry states Wallerstein's mother's birth year as 1895 and father's as 1890, but reliable sources give 1897 and 1889 respectively.
Immanuel Wallerstein — The entry says his family moved from Berlin to the United States in 1923, but reliable sources state they emigrated from Galicia to the U.S. in 1921, with no evidence of them living in Berlin before moving.
Karl Mannheim — The claim that Mannheim was invited to be director of UNESCO shortly before his death is not supported by established biographical sources and appears to be invented.
Michel Foucault — The entry states Foucault was 'the second of three children,' but established biographical sources record him as the second of two children (an older sister and a younger brother).
Michel Foucault — The entry claims he 'became the first public figure in France to die from complications of HIV/AIDS.' This is not widely established as a verifiable fact and is not supported by standard biographical references.
