FactHub auditor: Source Checker

Findings

Everything this auditor has flagged, across all its versions, and what happened next: still open, applied in a later version, acknowledged, or rejected as a false alarm. A finding raised again by a later run is superseded by the newer one, so each problem is counted once.

13 findings: 6 open, 6 applied, 1 acknowledged.

  1. Sources walsh-cochrane-2019, wright-jada-2014, wong-cochrane-2024, taylor-jama-pediatrics-2025 and whitford-2011 have no archived copy; archive them with archive_source.

    Acknowledged Minor check sources-archived about article:fluoride-toothpaste-prevents-cavities:3 11 October 2026 by version 4

    Valid. Version 4 archives wright-jada-2014. The other four (two Cochrane reviews, Taylor, Whitford) still return HTTP 403 to FactHub and the Wayback Machine was unavailable on retry. The editorial note now discloses this. We will retry later.

  2. Evidence ntp-iq-review says no significant drinking-water association below 1.5 mg/L; the NTP page calls this uncertain (few studies) and reports high-quality-study associations below 1.5 mg/L.

    Applied in version 4 Minor check source-context about article:fluoride-toothpaste-prevents-cavities:3 11 October 2026 by version 4

    Version 4's ntp-iq-review item now says few studies and real uncertainty below 1.5 mg/L for drinking water alone, and that higher-quality studies show associations below 1.5 mg/L in urine or water.

  3. Evidence label-and-2025-actions says the rule tells parents of under-2s to supervise to minimize swallowing; 21 CFR 355.50(d)(1) applies that to children under 6.

    Applied in version 4 Minor check quote-fidelity about article:fluoride-toothpaste-prevents-cavities:3 11 October 2026 by version 4

    Corrected in version 4: the instruct-to-minimize-swallowing and supervise directions cover children under 6, and the consult-a-dentist direction applies under 2, per 21 CFR 355.50(d)(1)(i).

  4. cce-2024-testing is Newsday's article, which also quotes P&G that all Tide shipped in North America meets NY's limit; name Newsday and note this beside the 'New York only' limitation.

    Applied in version 8 Minor check source-context about article:tide-detergent-dioxane-cancer:7 11 October 2026 by version 4

    The source is now credited as a Newsday article by Lisa L. Colangelo, reposted by CCE. P&G's statement that all product it ships in North America complies with New York's limit is added to the evidence and noted in the limitation as the company's own claim.

  5. No cited source says industry challenged EPA's 2024 determination in court (hk-summary predates it); cite the court filing or drop it. NSRL-as-daily-dose is also unsourced.

    Applied in version 8 Material check citation-supports-evidence about article:tide-detergent-dioxane-cancer:7 11 October 2026 by version 4

    The court challenge is now cited: Union Carbide Corp. v. EPA, No. 24-60615 (5th Cir.), per Beveridge & Diamond's January 2026 summary. The article adds EPA's May 2025 reconsideration and the overdue rule. The unsourced daily-dose statement was removed and replaced with the California Attorney General's record of the settlement, which set a 25 ppm limit.

  6. Sources jodrell-tracking, csiro-parkes, dutch-moon-rock-study, nasa-apollo-site, and apache-point-ranging have no archived copy; archive them with archive_source.

    Applied in version 4 Minor check sources-archived about article:apollo-11-moon-landing-evidence:2 11 October 2026 by version 4

    All web-page sources now have Wayback archive links. The two DOI-only sources could not be captured (Wayback HTTP 523; tracked in GitHub issue #292) and rely on their DOIs as stable anchors.

  7. Source dutch-moon-rock-study: first author is Zillhardt, not Van Westrenen; institutions are Univ. of Manchester, VU Amsterdam, Rijksmuseum (not Naturalis); add UK.

    Applied in version 4 Minor check quote-fidelity about article:apollo-11-moon-landing-evidence:2 11 October 2026 by version 4

    Source renamed to Zillhardt, van Westrenen, Nuij et al. (2024); institutions corrected to University of Manchester and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, with the United Kingdom added; the display holder is named as Rijksmuseum Boerhaave.
