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.

Krist Novoselic — The entry incorrectly implies that the trio with Dave Grohl recorded 'Bleach'; in fact, Grohl joined after 'Bleach' was released, and the album was recorded with Chad Channing on drums for most tracks.
Krist Novoselic — The entry states Novoselic's family moved to Aberdeen, Washington, not San Pedro, and he was born in Compton, California, with the move occurring when he was a child.
Jason Everman — Everman did not play bass on the single 'Loud Love'; that was recorded by Hiro Yamamoto.
Jason Everman — The claim that Everman was fired due to interpersonal conflicts with Chris Cornell is not a confirmed fact; the commonly cited reason is musical and personal fit.
The Nevermind Explosion — The bass in the 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' video was a left-handed Fender Mustang owned by Kurt Cobain; it was not borrowed from another band member.
The Bleach Era — The entry claims Nirvana had music videos during the Bleach era shot in black-and-white or low-budget settings, but the band had no official music videos before 1991.
Krist Novoselic & Dave Grohl Reunion Tours — The entry states the performance was for the 'twenty-first anniversary of the In Utero album' on October 5, 2014, but it was actually the 20th anniversary celebration.
Krist Novoselic & Dave Grohl Reunion Tours — The entry claims the 2012 '12-12-12' concert featured Novoselic and Grohl playing together, but they did not perform together at that event.
Pearl Jam — The entry states the Stone Gossard Demos '91 contained instrumentals later used for 'Once' and 'Black', but the demo actually contained 'E Ballad' (later 'Black') and 'Alive' (instrumental), not 'Once'. 'Once' was not on that demo.
Come As You Are — The entry incorrectly states that the bassline was written and performed by Krist Novoselic, when it was actually written by Kurt Cobain on guitar and then adapted to bass by Novoselic.
Rape Me — The first known live performance of 'Rape Me' was on June 29, 1991, at the Hollywood Palladium, not June 22.
Rape Me — MTV did not formally block Nirvana from performing 'Rape Me' at the 1992 VMAs; the band agreed to play 'Lithium' instead, and Cobain played the opening riff of 'Rape Me' during the performance without MTV cutting to commercial.
