Everything the fact-check found wrong in the drafts, and what replaced it. Reported errors are added here with a date.
Editorial decisions made at the same time
- All Unsplash placeholder images, YouTube links and IMDb-style ratings removed; none had a legitimate source.
- All quotations attributed to real people removed; not one could be traced to its exact source.
- Song lyrics and book passages removed (authors not in the public domain; several quotes were spliced or misattributed).
- Presidency term summaries dropped entirely: fabricated and over-attributed throughout. Replaced by the verified 12-event timeline.
- Veto scenarios rewritten with generic members and labelled hypothetical instead of putting named living officials on invented votes.
- War-era pages reworded to court findings (ICTY, ICJ) with figures from the memorial, the RDC and the official Sarajevo count, given side by side.
- Every invented statistic on Bosnian Americans (decade populations, homeownership, business counts, income and education tables) removed rather than "approximated".
- Five composite or invented "people" and two wrongly labelled people removed from the diaspora profiles; one fabricated "trailblazer" removed.
- The "Criminals" section of the source people list excluded; ten duplicates merged; five entries with no documented Bosnian connection dropped; stale descriptions updated.
- Invented single-year construction dates on monuments replaced by the documented century.
Government
Structural facts in politics.json are largely correct: 42/28/14 House of Representatives, 15 (5/5/5) House of Peoples, 9 (4+2+3) Constitutional Court judges serving to age 70, FBiH 98/80, RS 83 and 28 (8/8/8/4), Brcko 31 (29+2), the 9 ministries plus chairman, and the Council of Ministers one-vote-per-constituent-people rule all check out. The main errors are in presidency.json: Komsic's 2022 result is 227,540 votes / 55.80% (file: 227,340 / 53.61%), his continuous tenure began 20 Nov 2018 (file: 16 Nov 2018), the NATO Reform Programme decision was 19 Nov 2019 (file: 21 Nov), the SAA was signed by Council of Ministers chairman Nikola Spiric rather than the Presidency, and the 'state budget adopted on time' claim is the opposite of the record (2024 budget adopted 19 Jul 2024, 2026 budget seven months late). Several term-summary bullets look invented or unverifiable ('Consular Modernization', 'Civilian Protection laws', 'Dayton Integration Accords', 'Diplomatic Reshuffle/joint embassies', 'Judicial Coordination', 'Veto on Security Agency'). Presidency VNI mechanics are described imprecisely in politics.json (referral for Bosniak/Croat members goes to the Bosniac/Croat caucus of the FBiH House of Peoples, not the whole House) and the House of Representatives entity-vote description omits the decisive two-thirds-dissent stage. No direct quotations attributed to real people were found in either file. Canton 10 is mislabeled with an unofficial 'West Bosnia' name. Fetch budget used: about 29 searches/fetches within the 15-minute box; items not reached are marked unchecked.

History
Checked 16 eras, the 8-event overview timeline and republic.json against ICTY/ICJ, the Potocari memorial, UNHCR, the UN Commission of Experts and Wikipedia pointers, within a 15-minute box (20 web calls). Hard errors: the Krstic verdict date/description (should be 2 Aug 2001 genocide conviction, appeal 19 Apr 2004 reduced to aiding and abetting), the independence declaration date (3 Mar 1992, not 6 Mar in history.json or 1 Mar in overview.json), the Bihac siege line (about 1,150 days, lifted by Operation Storm on 4-5 Aug 1995; Sana began 13 Sep), 'Illyricum established 9 AD' (it was divided into Dalmatia and Pannonia after AD 9), Energoinvest '1969' (founded 1951), a fabricated actor (Kiro Gligorov) and three garbled strings. Numbers that looked invented but check out: 329 shells/day (UN Commission of Experts), 2.2 million displaced (UNHCR), 1,425-day siege, 1,601 children. Numbers that need re-sourcing: 'over 8,372' (8,372 is the memorial's exact count; ICTY found 7,000-8,000), 'over 11,541' (official Sarajevo count, not RDC; RDC says 13,952), turnout 63.7% vs 63.4% across files (Wikipedia: 63.72%), 'nearly 70% in the opening months' (about 60-70% by late 1992). Framing: 'war of aggression', 'heroic', 'legendary', 'armed aggression' and a one-sided attribution of crimes are not court language; the ICTY never ruled on aggression, the ICJ found Serbia failed to prevent/punish genocide but did not commit it, and the ICTY convicted members of all three sides. No verbatim quotations attributed to real people were found; one ZAVNOBiH paraphrase should be marked as such.

Heritage
UNESCO layer is mostly right: all five World Heritage inscriptions (Mostar 2005, Visegrad 2007, Stecci 2016, Janj 2021, Vjetrenica 2024) and all seven Tentative List entries with their years are confirmed; the Vjetrenica 2024 inscription that looked suspicious is genuine (46th session, New Delhi, July 2024). Two UNESCO-level errors: the Stecci serial property has 20 components in BiH, not 22 (28 total: 20 BiH, 2 HR, 3 ME, 3 RS), and the Sarajevo Haggadah is on the Memory of the World Register (2017), not the World Heritage List. National-monument designation years are wrong for Dobricevo (2006, not 2003), Ostrozac (2013, not 2005), Kraljeva Sutjeska (2004, not 2002), Sacred Heart Cathedral (2005, not 2004) and Old Orthodox Church (2006, not 2002); 17 others are confirmed and Svrzo's House is unchecked. Region/entity assignments are correct except Visegrad, which belongs to the Istocno Sarajevo (Sarajevo-Romanija) region of RS rather than a 'Foca Region'. Invented or mis-stated numbers: Jewish cemetery founded 1630 not 1551, Perucica 1,434 ha not ~1,300, Bobovac holds three kings not four, Ferhadija minaret 41 m not 43 m, Vjetrenica 7,014 m not 7,300 m, Stecci cross-type share is ~0.5% not 4%, and the Stari Most height should be unified on 24 m. The Vjetrenica 'drawings of leopards and bears' conflates skeletal finds with a separate, thinly sourced cave-art claim; the Pliny the Elder mention is a tourism commonplace never tied to a passage. Coordinates all fall inside BiH and near the named towns; only Ostrozac is a few km off.

Culture and cinema
Cinema: the core festival/Oscar record is mostly right, but four claims are flatly wrong (Kuduz never won an EFA/Felix, it got 3 nominations; Grbavica's third Berlin prize was the Ecumenical Jury Prize, not Amnesty; Men Don't Cry has no Bratislava Best Director award; Kuduz, Perfect Circle and Summer in the Golden Valley were never Oscar submissions, so oscarStatus must be 'none'). Walter's Pula Golden Arena claim could not be confirmed. Every rating, posterUrl, stillUrl and trailerYoutubeId is placeholder or fabricated and must be dropped. Culture: the Andrić 'bridges' quote is real but comes from his 1933 essay 'Mostovi', not from The Bridge on the Drina; the Selimović quote is mostly unverifiable and its translation does not match the Bosnian; the Dizdar quote splices two poems with altered wording; none of the three authors is public domain. Music dates check out (Emina 1902, Plima 1972, Sanjao sam 1976 on Eto! Baš hoću!), 'Hamiro' is a typo for Himzo Polovina, and the Bašagić translation claim is supported. Diaspora: St. Louis '70,000' is an unsourced upper estimate (60-70k range), the Utica 'City Saved by Bosnians' epithet is invented (the sourced nickname is 'the town that loves refugees'), the Sebilj was donated in 2013 for St. Louis's 250th anniversary rather than a resettlement anniversary, 'sila' = 'fierce dignity' is an invented gloss, and 'savon' as a coffee tray is not a real word.

Numbers
Census-level facts (2013 ethnic and language shares, 1948-1991 census totals and main groups, the 1991 detail in republic.json, the 1996 UNHCR row, the 2013 total) check out against BHAS-derived tables, with four concrete errors: the Islam share (51.33 in demographics.json; BHAS final is 50.70), the religion 'undeclared' and 'atheist/agnostic' buckets in both files, the 1991 Albanian count (4,925 vs official 4,295) and the 1981 total (4,124,008 vs official 4,124,256). Two facts are wrong outright as of today: country area 51,129 km2 (BHAS: 51,209) and High Representative Christian Schmidt (tenure ended 1 July 2026; Louis Crishock is acting). The 2013 age pyramid does not reconcile with the census (sums to 3,546,023, not 3,531,159; the 0-14 and 65+ bands are off by 17k and 54k) and should be rebuilt from the BHAS census book. The keyIndicators block is a mix of unlabeled CIA/Wikipedia-infobox estimates (growth +0.37% contradicts the negative natural change; TFR 1.36 matches neither BHAS 1.18 nor World Bank 1.48), and the CIA World Factbook was sunset in Feb 2026 so those cannot be re-verified live. The 79-row vital table is a verbatim copy of the Wikipedia table: pre-1992 rows match, but 2019-2024 births and deaths differ from BHAS official releases by 0.5-5%, the population column is on a different basis from BHAS mid-year estimates, and the 2025 row is at most preliminary (no BHAS final 2025 bulletin verified; only FBiH entity finals for 2025 were found).

Diaspora and people abroad
diaspora_us.json: every quantitative table (decade populations including a 2030s 'projection', homeownership, college-grad rate, business counts, per-city decade populations, and the age/education/industry/income tables with 'benchmarkUS') is invented; no public source produces them. The headline 365,000 national figure is unsupported (Wikipedia's 350,000 is an uncited community estimate; ACS table B04006 has no Bosnian row at all, and the Bosnian-specific S0201 profile needs a Census API key that was not available in the time box). Trailblazers Hemon, Nurkić, Moore, Ibišević and Buturović are real and mostly right (fixes: 'Bosnia Memory Project' 2006/07, Conference USA not 'NCAA' Freshman of the Year, Buturović's book title, Utica sebilj dedicated 2025 not 2024), but 'Selma Đelić' is fabricated, all six quotes are unverifiable, and all images are Unsplash stock. diaspora_atlas.json: 30 of 44 people check out on dates; Sasha Alexander (Serbian descent) and Aleksandar Đurić (ethnic Serb) are wrongly labelled Bosniak; Sokollu, Rustem Pasha, Hersekzade and Selimović carry contested or anachronistic 'Bosniak' labels; Ali Bushnaq (sprinter), 'Sheikh Bushnak', 'Antofagasta Lineage', 'Faris Bushnaq & Gulf Diaspora' and 'Baron Osman-bey' are fabricated or composite non-persons; ~16 YouTube links are the Rick Astley placeholder. All 17 Wikipedia category URLs exist. Events are broadly right except the 1775/1799 Acre year clash.

People directory
354 entries; all 354 links resolve on en.wikipedia (MediaWiki API: 0 missing, 14 redirects, 4 of them to non-biography pages). The live List of Bosniaks has 364 person bullets (367 wikitext list items minus 3 See-also) across 355 distinct linked titles; our file is missing the whole 'Other' section (9 names incl. Kemal Kurspahić, Hasan Nuhanović, Semir Osmanagić) and the 1-entry 'Militants' section (two Austrian teenagers who joined ISIS; exclude). 10 entries are the same person cross-listed in two categories (same link), and one same-name pair (Zaim Imamović) is two different people. 4 entries carry the placeholder description 'Notable Bosniak', 63 Music entries have only life dates as description, and 3 politician descriptions are stale (Imamović left the Tuzla mayoralty in 2022, Helić has been a peer since 2014, Dizdarević died 2 Sept 2026 per his article). Of 30 spot-checks: 18 confirmed, 3 wrong (stale), 8 dubious (ethnicity given as 'Bosnian' rather than 'Bosniak', or via a single grandparent or category only), 1 no-biography. 267 of 354 are in Wikipedia's Living people category; the only living Criminals entry is Hazim Delić, and that category is being excluded.
