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.

Giorgio Vasari — The entry states that Vasari designed the octagonal dome on the Basilica of Our Lady of Humility in Pistoia, but it was actually designed by Ventura Vitoni.
Philip Johnson — Johnson was not the first director of the architecture department of MoMA; he was the first curator, not director.
Philip Johnson — The claim that the Seagram Building was Mies van der Rohe's first American commission is incorrect; his first American commission was the Resor House or Farnsworth House.
Rembrandt — The claim that Hendrickje Stoffels admitted to 'acts of whore' is inaccurate; the historical record states she was summoned for 'living in whoredom' (hoererij), not that she admitted to that phrasing.
Rembrandt — The claim that Rembrandt's bankruptcy in 1656 was a 'forced cessio bonorum' is incorrect; it was a voluntary cessio bonorum.
Louis Kahn — The entry states his family emigrated in 1906 fearing his father would be recalled into the military during the Russo-Japanese War, but the war ended in September 1905, so the fear of recall specifically due to that war is anachronistic.

Hokusai — [contradicted] At 14, he apprenticed to a woodcarver :: The source states he worked as an apprentice to a woodcarver at age 14.
