Sources, checks and corrections

Identity matched

Provider identity fields meet our completeness checks. This is not an independent official-source certification.

Internal checks passed

The records pass automated integrity checks. Complete senior career coverage and official accuracy are not guaranteed.

Curated baseline

A separately maintained career snapshot. It is not the sum of current season rows and should not be read as a live official total.

Official-source checkpoint

A named metric is compared with a linked club, league or federation reference. A match applies only to that metric, scope and cutoff.

Different sources use different match definitions and cutoff dates. Season aggregates cannot always reproduce an exact match-date total. Missing records stay unavailable, and reports do not automatically change published numbers.

• 9 November 2026: added a source-aware repair pass for provider-linked profiles with gaps. Known identity values are preserved when a season response is sparse; conflicting birth dates stay under review. Backfills use the provider’s available seasons, save progress between runs and respect daily limits. National-team spelling variants are matched consistently, while genuine identity conflicts remain blocked. A completed import is not a complete-career certification.
• 9 November 2026: audited all 4,566 stored players. Found 1,074 identity-field or verification gaps, 300 profiles without season records and 592 without a career aggregate. Categories overlap; these are coverage and verification gaps, not automatic proof of incorrect figures. Started source review in order of player views and searches, with Suárez, Verdonk, Kane and Neymar in the first unresolved batch.
• 9 November 2026: corrected Verdonk’s current sporting representation to Indonesia while retaining his documented Netherlands youth history. Corrected shared Feyenoord metadata from national team to Dutch club, affecting records associated with 28 players. Liverpool was also corrected to an English club, affecting records associated with 60 players. Nine working aggregates were reconciled against published season rows, retaining private backups. Dated source-reviewed headlines were preserved. No missing season statistics were invented. LOSC source · Premier League source.
• 9 November 2026: introduced dated publications for individual metrics, preserving last checked figures during import reviews. Saved 10,050 metric snapshots across 2,513 eligible profiles, including the two separately sourced senior records. Provider snapshots passed internal consistency checks; they are not certified complete senior careers. New imports are privately staged and cannot replace publications if held, failed or superseded.
• 9 November 2026: restored Ronaldo’s career headline from a dated published record: 985 senior goals, 261 assists and 1,343 appearances as of 7 November. Sources and the six-team breakdown are linked on his profile; API season coverage remains under review.
• 9 November 2026: added import checks that hold missing or regressing statistics for review, preserve sourced corrections and prevent incomplete records from becoming complete career claims. An audit flagged 433 profiles for assist-coverage review; this is a coverage concern, not proof that every zero is incorrect.
• 9 November 2026: corrected 31 Messi competition-season records against linked Opta Analyst records, retaining the originals in a private repair audit. Replaced the incomplete career headline with a separately sourced senior record: 937 goals and 428 assists as of 7 November 2026, with an explicit assist convention and team breakdown. API season reconciliation remains incomplete.
• 8 November 2026: corrected 255 missing national-team countries where the team name matched a verified provider nationality.
• Recalculated eligible provider totals and cleared 322 totals-reconciliation findings. Records with other integrity problems stayed blocked.
• Separated Messi’s provider aggregates from his dated independent headline record.

Use “Report issue” on the relevant player profile. Identify the record, explain the problem and include an official source if possible. Reports begin as received, move to investigating during review, and are resolved or dismissed after assessment. A received report is not a confirmed error. Private report details are never published in this log.
