en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Communications_Commission
- That overstates the website change. FCC-hosted documents published afterward still used both “independent” and “independence.”

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivia_Trusty
- Trusty’s official Senate nomination paperwork says her Commerce Committee policy-director role ended in December 2022; since January 2023 she has served on the Senate Armed Services Committee.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajit_Pai
- This gets McConnell’s leadership title wrong. When Obama nominated Pai in 2011, Mitch McConnell was the Senate minority leader, not the majority leader.
- This sentence mixes up Pai’s role as chairman with his underlying commissioner term. FCC commissioners serve five-year terms, but the president separately designates one commissioner as chair.
- This confuses two different legal protections. Section 230 provides certain liability protections, but First Amendment rights come from the Constitution, not from Section 230.
- Pai was sworn in during a term that had already started, not for a fresh five-year term. His initial FCC term ended on June 30, 2016.

- Abahuzamugambi is not a 500,000-farmer cooperative. Credible coffee-sector sources put it at roughly 1,372 members; hundreds of thousands refers to Rwanda’s coffee farmers nationally, not this one co-op.
- This combines a later death toll with an outdated missing-person figure: by July 12, reports said 13 had died but the official number missing had fallen well below 23.

- This overstates the bill’s scope. H.R. 4673 targets certain standards on the production and sale of products from "covered livestock" in interstate commerce; it does not categorically bar states from passing any new animal-welfare laws.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Boy_Floyd
- This uses the wrong agency name for 1934. By the time Floyd was killed on October 22, 1934, Hoover’s agency had already been renamed the Division of Investigation; it did not become the FBI until 1935.
- This title is anachronistic for July 1934. Hoover was then heading the Division of Investigation, not the Bureau of Investigation.
- The date is right, but the agency label is not: in October 1934 these were Division of Investigation agents, not FBI agents. The FBI name was adopted in 1935.
- The agent’s surname is misspelled here. Contemporary and memorial records identify the slain Prohibition agent as Curtis C. Burks, not Curtis C. Burke.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Garfield
- The date is wrong: "The Late John Garfield Blues" was already on John Prine's 1972 album *Diamonds In The Rough*, not a circa-1997 song.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_Chase
- This overstates Chase’s awards for Saturday Night Live. He won two Emmys for the show, but official Golden Globes records list no Golden Globe win for him at all.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_McConnell
- McConnell later said he was hospitalized after a fall, not because he was in cardiac arrest. His office and the Senate attending physician said he had no cardiac abnormalities, stroke, tumor, or hemorrhage.
- These are not his 118th Congress assignments. The official Senate page lists them as his assignments for the 119th Congress, and the 118th Congress had already ended on January 3, 2025.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dianne_Feinstein
- This is historically incorrect. Jews in Saint Petersburg faced residence restrictions and discrimination, but they were not generally required to practice Russian Orthodoxy.
- This overstates and misdescribes the 2000 law. The Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit had already been established in 1973, and the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act authorized about $300 million in federal funds over 10 years, not $900 million.
- This mixes up Katherine Feinstein’s time on the court with her time as presiding judge. She served in several court roles from 2000 to 2013, but was elected presiding judge only for a two-year term beginning in 2011.

- Gürtner became Bavarian justice minister on August 4, 1922, not November 8, 1922.
- The Nazi revision of Paragraph 175 was made on June 28, 1935, not in July 1935.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Long_Knives
- Geoffrey of Monmouth’s famous work was Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the Kings of Britain), not Historia Brittonum (History of the Britons). Historia Brittonum is a different, earlier work associated with Nennius.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler's_rise_to_power
- This was not a Weimar-era tradition. Under the Weimar Constitution, the president appointed the chancellor, and the largest party often did not supply the chancellor.
- Dachau was not the first concentration camp in Germany. It was the first regular Nazi concentration camp, while earlier camps had already been set up elsewhere in Germany in February and March 1933.
- This overstates their combined strength in the 1930 election. The NSDAP and KPD together held 184 of 577 seats, about 31.9% of the Reichstag, not almost 40%.
- The shooter was not “Albert Hochter.” Historical sources identify him as Albrecht “Ali” Höhler, a member of the Roter Frontkämpferbund.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk
- This is incorrect because Canadian law in 1971 did not automatically pass citizenship to a child born abroad to a married Canadian mother and foreign father.
- The 'since 1971' date is incorrect: Canadian law in 1971 did not automatically make Musk a Canadian citizen at birth through his married Canadian mother.
- This date confuses SpaceX's incorporation date with Elon Musk's CEO appointment date; official company materials list his appointment as CEO in May 2002.
- Official SpaceX offering documents say the company was founded and incorporated on March 14, 2002, not in May 2002.

- The Hans Christian Andersen Awards are not annual. IBBY states they are given every other year (biennially).
- Museum sources say Andersen did not invent the woven Christmas heart. He made the oldest preserved known example, but its invention is not attributed to him.

- This is too broad: PRC official documents do use the character “兆”. PRC legal metrology documents list 兆 as the SI prefix for 10^6, and other official documents use forms such as 兆赫 (MHz).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturers_Trust_Company_Building
- The building’s glass was reported at about half an inch thick, not 4 inches.
- Sources describe the facade glass as clear, not gold-tinted; the gold-tinted element was interior Fiberglas curtains.
- An official landmark report says nearly 100,000 people had visited by 1957, not by 1960; that also makes the stated average of 400 per month far too low.
