en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Antipas
- Philo's account places Pilate's shields in Herod's palace in Jerusalem, not in the Antonia.
- The film *Journey to Bethlehem* features Herod’s son Antipater, not Herod Antipas.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herodias
- This reverses the order of events. Josephus says Herod had already removed Herod II from the succession before Antipater was executed.
- Josephus says Archelaus's former wife was named Mariamne, not Herodias. Standard reference works identify Archelaus's first wife as Mariamne, possibly Mariamne III.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaea_(Roman_province)
- This office label is wrong for Gargilius Antiquus. Evidence identifies him as a governor/legatus Augusti pro praetore, not an equestrian prefect.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_the_Great
- Josephus does not say Herod descended from Eleazar Maccabeus or the Hasmoneans. In Josephus, Herod’s paternal line is Idumaean, and the "half-Jew" remark refers to his Idumaean background, not Hasmonean ancestry.
- Those dates are wrong. Herod’s war against Antigonus began after Antigonus seized Jerusalem in 40 BCE and ended with Herod’s capture of Jerusalem in 37 BCE.
- Archelaus did not receive a tetrarchy of Judea. He was made ethnarch over Judea, Samaria, and Idumea; the tetrarchies went to Antipas and Philip.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharisees
- This sentence conflates John Hyrcanus with earlier Hasmonean rulers. John Hyrcanus succeeded Simon around 135/134 BCE; 152 BCE refers to Jonathan’s appointment as high priest, not Hyrcanus’s rise to power.
- Josephus says the officiating priests were killed by the Roman attackers, not by Pharisees. This sentence misidentifies who carried out the killings during Pompey’s capture of the Temple.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_predicts_his_betrayal
- The count is wrong: the betrayal prediction appears in four canonical Gospel passages, not three.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judas_Iscariot
- Acts 1:18 does not say Judas fell off a cliff. The verse says he "fell headlong" and burst open, but it does not mention any cliff.
- The surviving Coptic manuscript was not from 200 AD. National Geographic reported that the codex dates to the third or fourth century AD, while the original Greek text is thought to be earlier.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neso_(moon)
- This is incorrect because Proteus, not Nereid, is Neptune’s second-largest moon. NASA describes Nereid as Neptune’s third-largest moon and notes that Proteus is larger than Nereid.

- This overstates Jiyu-Kennett’s precedence. Ruth Fuller Sasaki was already a Western woman ordained as a Zen priest in Japan years earlier.

- This is too absolute. Anthropological research on oral and hunter-gatherer societies shows knowledge is also transmitted through observation, participation, play, ritual, and explicit teaching—not only by speech and memory.
- This is contradicted by ethnographic evidence. Oral and hunter-gatherer societies often contain restricted, age-graded, gender-specific, ceremonial, and elite-controlled knowledge rather than one universally shared pool of background knowledge.

- This is outdated. Fort Knox’s official leadership pages identify Col. David Holstead—not Col. Christopher J. Ricci—as the current Fort Knox Garrison Commander.

- Anthropic says Claude Mythos 5 and Claude Fable 5 are the same underlying model, differing mainly in safeguards, so presenting Mythos as separate from “Fable 5/Mythos 5” is incorrect.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Savage
- This is outdated. The podcast ended in January 2021, so Savage does not currently co-host it.
- This sentence mixes the 2012 launch with a later host lineup. Simone Giertz was not part of the podcast when it launched in June 2012; she first appeared in June 2016.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Son
- Son was not convicted of rape. He was convicted of torture; the sexual-assault charges were dropped because the statute of limitations had expired.
- The page lists sexual assault as one of Son’s convictions, but he was not convicted of sexual assault. He was convicted of torture, and the sexual-assault charges were not pursued after the statute of limitations expired.
- Son’s PRIDE debut against Yusuke Imamura was at PRIDE The Best Vol. 1, not Vol. 2.
