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.

Professor Calculus — The entry states Calculus discarded his hearing aid after the Moon journey, but he continues to use it occasionally in later albums.
Snowy — Snowy does not appear in the unfinished *Tintin and Alph-Art* (he is mentioned but not depicted), so he is not the only character to appear in all albums.
Snowy — The event of Tintin temporarily abandoning Snowy and Snowy being inconsolable occurs in *The Secret of the Unicorn*, not *The Shooting Star*.
Inspector Thomson — The duo are not from Scotland Yard; they are from the 'Interpol' or 'International Police' (often referred to as the 'Police Judiciaire' or simply detectives from an unspecified international force, not specifically Scotland Yard).
Inspector Thompson — The entry states the English names are Thomson (with a 'p') and Thompson (with a 'ph'), but in standard English translations, the spelling is reversed: Thomson is spelled with a 'ph' (Thompson) and Thompson with a 'p' (Thomson).
Rastapopoulos — The entry states Rastapopoulos is the primary antagonist across only two albums, but he is also the primary antagonist in The Blue Lotus and Flight 714.
The Black Gang — The entry states that Tintin 'stumbled upon their activities while investigating a crashed plane and a mysterious wounded man' — this is incorrect because the wounded man is found at the crash site, but the gang's activities are uncovered later through the for
The Opium Smugglers — The claim that opium is hidden inside cigars themselves is incorrect; in Cigars of the Pharaoh, the opium is hidden inside the cigars' outer wrappers or within the cigar boxes, not inside the cigars themselves.
The Opium Smugglers — The statement that the syndicate first emerges when Tintin investigates the death of an Egyptologist and a missing cigar box conflates two separate plot points; the missing cigar box is not part of the initial investigation—Tintin first encounters the opium sm
Michel Greg — The entry incorrectly states that the comic book adaptation of *Tintin and the Lake of Sharks* used still images from the film as illustrations; in reality, it was a traditional comic book drawn by Bob de Moor and others.
Michel Greg — The entry incorrectly identifies the villain Rastapopoulos as calling himself 'King Shark'; in the film, the villain is a separate original character named King Shark, not Rastapopoulos.
