Michael Jackson Codexery — Data & Quality

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.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Michael Jackson — The entry says Jordan, June, and Jordan's stepsister Lily traveled together to Monaco for the World Music Awards, but sources indicate Lily did not accompany them.

Michael Jackson — The entry states Jackson canceled the remainder of his Dangerous World Tour when the allegations broke, but the tour continued for several months after the allegations became public in August 1993, not being canceled until November 1993.

Joe Jackson — Joe Jackson did not quit his job at Inland Steel before the Jackson 5's Motown deal; he continued working there for some time after their early success.

Joe Jackson — The entry's phrasing about 'ten children including Michael' is not a factual error, but the claim that the Jackson 5 were a 'garage band' including Joe as a performer is acceptable; the major error is that the first major recording deal was not solely secured

La Toya Jackson — La Toya is not the middle daughter; she is the second daughter among Rebbie, La Toya, and Janet.

La Toya Jackson — La Toya released eight studio albums, not nine.

Tito Jackson — Tito Jackson was born third of nine children, not ten.

Tito Jackson — The claim that Marlon permanently departed the Jackson 5 during its active years is inaccurate; he left after the Victory Tour but returned for reunions.

Thriller Video — Deborah Nadoolman designed the red jacket to make Jackson appear taller by matching his jeans (the actual reason was visual contrast; jeans were black, not red)

Thriller Video — The video doubled album sales (it significantly boosted sales but did not exactly double them)

This Is It Concerts — Rehearsals took place primarily at The Forum in Inglewood, California, and later at Staples Center, not primarily at Staples Center first.

Single White Glove — The entry claims that at Michael Jackson's memorial service, his brothers wore single spangled white gloves as pallbearers, but they did not wear such gloves; they wore dark suits and sunglasses.

Dangerous Album Release — The release date is listed as November 21, 1991, but the widely accepted release date for Dangerous is November 26, 1991 (in the US).
