en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telemachus
- This sentence conflates two different traditions. In the later Cassiphone/Tzetzes version, Odysseus is revived and Telemachus marries Cassiphone, not Circe.

- OpenAI’s own incident report says the testing environment was not fully offline: it had limited network/package access through an internal proxy. The model exploited that proxy to obtain open internet access.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Alex_Pretti
- This overstates Border Patrol’s role: official reporting identifies one shooter as a Border Patrol agent and the other as a CBP officer, not two Border Patrol agents.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostrich_instruction
- This is incorrect because *United States v. Jewell* was a 1976 en banc decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, not a merits ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Burnham
- This skips Burnham's earlier ministerial roles. He first served as a Home Office parliamentary under-secretary in 2005 and a Health minister in 2006 before becoming Chief Secretary in 2007.
- This is premature and incorrect: the Greater Manchester mayoral by-election had not yet been held. Official notices state the election is scheduled for 30 July 2026.
- This overstates what Burnham's 2010 policy did. It proposed free personal care at home only for people with the highest needs, not free social care for all elderly and disabled people.
- This counts his mayoral wins incorrectly. Burnham was first elected in 2017 and re-elected in 2021, so 2024 was his second re-election, not his third.
- This misattributes Labour's rail nationalisation programme to the previous Conservative government. The Conservatives' Williams-Shapps plan explicitly said it was 'not renationalisation', while the public-ownership programme was launched by the Labour government in December 2024.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchesterism
- This overstates what the Good Growth Fund had actually allocated. Official GMCA material says the fund was initially worth £1 billion overall, but its first approved wave was £400 million for 17 schemes; the 30 schemes across all 10 boroughs were a wider pipeline/first-two-waves list, not a single £1 billion allocation.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chase_Bank
- JPMorgan Chase’s 2022 assets were about $3.7 trillion, not $3.31 trillion.
- The 2016 employee count is wrong. JPMorgan Chase reported 243,355 employees for 2016, not 250,355.
- John Thompson did not found the 1799 predecessor institution. JPMorganChase traces its founding to the Manhattan Company in 1799, founded by Aaron Burr with Alexander Hamilton.
- Washington Mutual was acquired in 2008, not 2009.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Madoff
- Mark Madoff did not marry Stephanie Mikesell in 2003. Multiple sources, including court records and Stephanie Madoff Mack herself, place the marriage in 2004.
- The year is off by one. Sources tied to the Madoff litigation and contemporary reporting say Mark Madoff began working at BLMIS in 1986, after graduating from the University of Michigan.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_grammar
- Turkish is canonically verb-final, but finite verbs are not always clause-final. Linguistic descriptions treat Turkish as a flexible word-order language, and postverbal material is well attested.
- This misdefines “enclitic.” Enclitic status is about a form being phonologically dependent on a preceding host, not about whether its vowel participates in vowel harmony.
- This is too broad and is false as stated. Turkish does restrict many consonant clusters, especially word-initial ones, but Turkish does allow syllable- and word-final consonant clusters.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Foreman
- The documentary *Fred* was directed by Paul Van Carter, not by Freddie Foreman’s son Jamie.
- That date is incorrect: *Fred* had its world premiere at CPH:DOX 2018, its UK premiere later at the East End Film Festival, and its UK home-video release on 4 June 2018.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_radio_in_the_United_Kingdom
- Radio Caroline was the first famous offshore pop pirate station, not the first British pirate radio station overall. Political pirate stations such as Radio Free Scotland were already broadcasting in Britain years earlier.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelo_Bruno
- The marriage year is off by one year. Federal records on Bruno list his marriage to Assunta “Sue” Maranca in January 1932, not 1931.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Raft
- The date is wrong: I'm the Law was a 1953 television series, not a 1954 one.
- George Raft's motion-picture star is at 6159 Hollywood Blvd., not 6150.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Collins
- This misdates Collins's Emmy nomination. Her Dynasty Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series was in 1984, not 1983.
- This names the wrong awards body. The official award was presented at the Women in Film & Television Awards 2025 run by WFTV UK, not at a Women in Film and Television International awards event.
- The year here is wrong. Sea Wife is a 1957 film, not a 1956 film.
- The film title is misspelled here. Joan Collins's 1969 Italian drama is L'amore breve, not L'amore brave.
- This award name is incorrect in this table. Collins's 2025 honor came from WFTV UK's Women in Film & Television Awards, not a 'Women in Film and Television International Awards' event.

- Federal fraud sentencing does not use a blanket rule based on what "was supposed to be there." Under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, loss is generally the greater of actual loss or intended loss, and it is reduced by money returned or collateral recovered in many cases.
Wikipedia Jul 23, 2026 at 02:46 AM
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slay_the_Spire
- This is incorrect because Slay the Spire also has shared card and relic pools. Colorless cards can be obtained by any class, and most relics are available regardless of character.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prestige
- This Rotten Tomatoes statistic is outdated. Rotten Tomatoes currently lists The Prestige at 76% on the Tomatometer based on 208 reviews, not 77% from 206 reviews.

- Federal harassment law is not triggered simply by how an advance is later received. The governing standard also requires objective and contextual elements, including that conduct be severe or pervasive enough that a reasonable person would find the environment hostile or abusive.

memia.substack.com/p/ai-2040-plan-a-and-rest-of-world
- This is incorrect: AI 2040 explicitly includes Plan S, a branch where AI progress is halted, and the project’s public forecast distributions also allow milestones to arrive far later than 2040.
