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.

Lake Malawi — The claim that Lake Malawi is the fifth largest freshwater lake in the world by volume is incorrect; it is actually the fourth largest by volume.
Lake Malawi — The claim that the lake is the third largest and second deepest lake in Africa is inaccurate; it is the third largest by area but the second deepest is Lake Tanganyika, while Lake Malawi is the third deepest.
Lake Maracaibo — The Catatumbo lightning is concentrated over the mouth of the Catatumbo River in the southwestern part of the lake, not the southern part generally.
Lake Maracaibo — The story that Amerigo Vespucci saw stilt houses on the lake in 1499 and was reminded of Venice is apocryphal; the name 'Venezuela' is more reliably traced to an indigenous origin.
Lake Michigan — The entry states Lake Michigan is the second-largest by volume among the Great Lakes, but it is actually the third-largest by volume (after Lake Superior and Lake Huron).
Lake Michigan — The entry states Lake Michigan is the third-largest by depth after Lake Superior, but it is actually the second-deepest Great Lake (after Lake Superior), with Lake Huron being shallower.
Lake Nicaragua — The lake is typically listed as the 19th largest lake in the world by area: This is incorrect; Lake Nicaragua is usually ranked around 19th in the Americas, not the world.
Lake Nicaragua — maximum_depth=60 m (200 ft): The widely accepted maximum depth of Lake Nicaragua is approximately 26 meters (85 feet), not 60 meters (200 feet).
