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.

Soap MacTavish — In the original Modern Warfare timeline, Soap holds the rank of Captain in Modern Warfare 3, not Major.
Soap MacTavish — Soap's career does not span every major conflict in the franchise; he is exclusive to the Modern Warfare sub-series and does not appear in titles like Black Ops or Infinite Warfare.
Lieutenant Simon 'Ghost' Riley — Ghost's first appearance is Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007) during the mission 'Cliffhanger', not Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
General Shepherd — Name Nomenclature: The character is canonically General William Shepherd; 'The Shepherd' is not an official callsign or nickname used in established lore.
General Shepherd — Makarov/Nuclear Plot Error: Vladimir Makarov did not orchestrate the theft of nuclear warheads to create the Airport Massacre ('No Russian'); that event involved firearms. The nuclear detonation referenced occurred in Modern Warfare 1 (Middle East), which moti
CIA — The entry incorrectly states the CIA is under Department of Defense oversight; in both real-world structure and Call of Duty lore, it is an independent agency reporting to the President/DNI.
Spetsnaz — In Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, players do not first face Ultranationalist Spetsnaz; the initial combat mission 'Crew Expendable' features Al-Qatala (Middle Eastern terrorists) as enemies before Spetsnaz appear.
Spetsnaz — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section contains an internal contradiction stating Spetsnaz are 'not the first major enemy faction' while simultaneously claiming 'players first face Ultranationalist Spetsnaz'.
Al-Qatala — The gas train incident occurred in Modern Warfare (2019), not 'MW2'.
Keepers — First appearance is Call of Duty: Black Ops III - Zombies (Shadows of Evil), not Cold War.
Keepers — Origin lore describes them as an ancient civilization that split from the Apothicons, rather than being created specifically to seal away the Dark Aether.
Edward Richtofen — The entry incorrectly states Edward Richtofen had an American counterpart in Group 935; the original quartet consisted of Richtofen (German), Belinski (Russian), Masaki (Japanese), and Maxis (German).
Edward Richtofen — The entry incorrectly claims Richtofen sacrificed himself to destroy the Apothicon God as his final act; in the main canon, Dr. Ludvig Maxis is the character who sacrifices himself for this purpose.
