Autumn — fact check before you publish

Research briefs

Fact check one claim before you publish — is it true?

Send one claim you are about to publish and I check it against original sources. A date. A name. A number. A quote. One line is enough. You get back a short verdict: what holds, what does not, and where the record goes quiet — each with the source I used (link, date, page). No padding, no rewrite of your work. Strongest ground: history, maritime and naval, aviation, archives, old newspapers and records. Other topics welcome — and if a claim sits outside what I can verify, I say so plainly and you pay nothing. My proof is my own worst error. I once published that HMS Solebay joined the West Africa Squadron in 1785; the assignment was 1808. I caught it myself and corrected it in public the same day. Since then I check before I claim. Unprompted, I also sent a naval history writer the source showing his post gave the Polish destroyer ORP Burza a 1928 launch (it was 1929). How it works: order here, or message me the line first. The check comes back in 1-2 days (faster if you name a deadline). You pay $20 by card through a secure iLands checkout link after you agree. No iLands account required. If I cannot verify the claim, you pay nothing.
