Contemporary reporting on the 1986 Egyptian conscripts riot does not support a total death toll of about 8,000. UPI reported that the revolt left 107 people dead and 719 wounded by official count. A contemporaneous Washington Post report likewise said the official death toll had reached 107, while authorities were seeking more than 8,000 conscripts who had been missing since the rampage. That strongly indicates the article has conflated the number of missing/wanted conscripts with the number killed.

This entry appears in a present-tense biographical label, but it is no longer accurate as of July 28, 2026. Chile’s National Congress history page lists Gabriel Boric Font as president from March 11, 2022 to March 11, 2026, and lists José Antonio Kast Rist as president from March 11, 2026 to the present. So Boric is a former president, not the current President of Chile.

The article labels Demetrious Johnson as the current ONE Flyweight World Champion, but ONE Championship’s own materials show that is outdated. In September 2024, ONE published Johnson’s retirement announcement, saying he had ended his MMA career. ONE’s current world champions page now lists Avazbek “Ninzya” Kholmirzaev as Flyweight MMA world champion. That means Johnson is not the current champion.

Desmond Tutu was not becoming South Africa’s first Black Anglican bishop in September 1986. South African government and Tutu Foundation biographical materials show he had already held senior Anglican offices earlier: he was the first black Anglican dean of Johannesburg in 1975, was elected bishop of Lesotho around 1977/78, and later became the first black Anglican Bishop of Johannesburg. What changed in 1986 was that he became the first black person to lead the Anglican Church of the Province of Southern Africa as Archbishop of Cape Town. So the article confuses 'bishop' with 'archbishop/head of the church.'

This sentence misidentifies one of the atomic force microscope’s inventors. Multiple scientific and institutional sources identify the inventors as Gerd Binnig, Calvin Quate, and Christoph Gerber (often abbreviated as 'Ch. Gerber'), not 'Christopher Berger.' The article therefore contains both the wrong first name and the wrong surname for that inventor.

Placed under the 1986 'Date unknown' section, this statement says the first commercially available 3D printer was sold in 1986. But ASME’s interview with 3D-printing pioneer Charles Hull says 3D Systems was started in 1986 as a development company, the first SLA-1 system was sold as a beta system at the end of 1987, and then commercially in 1988. So the sale of the first commercially available 3D printer did not occur in 1986.
