- Это неверно: по Положению 1864 года губернская управа состояла из председателя и 6 членов, а уездная — из председателя и 2 членов (с возможностью увеличить число членов до 6). Кроме того, члены управ не назначались, а избирались земскими собраниями на три года.

- Это перепутывает авторство саундтрека. Официальные релизы Ubisoft Music указывают, что Vol. 1 выпущен как альбом Chris Tilton, а Vol. 2 — как альбом Sarah Schachner; Ryan Amon указан лишь среди авторов полной версии, а не как основной автор с «участием» остальных.
- Английское название миссии указано неверно. В официальном описании DLC она называется “The American Prisoner”, а не “American Prison”.

- This is overbroad. Federal campaigns may not accept contributions from some U.S. citizens or permanent residents, including federal government contractors.

- Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel frescoes were not purely decorative. They were made for a functioning papal chapel used for liturgy and conclaves, and Vatican sources explicitly describe the paintings as helping make scriptural truths understandable.

- This sentence wrongly attributes California Coastal Commission permitting changes to SB 131 alone. Official state materials say the coastal-permitting and Coastal Commission appeal changes were part of the AB 130/SB 131 package, and AB 130 specifically contains the Coastal Act amendments.

- Mora et al. (2011) did not estimate 8.7 million terrestrial species. Their estimate was about 8.7 million eukaryotic species in total worldwide, of which about 2.2 million are marine.
- The WWF report did not find that Earth lost 58% of its biodiversity in absolute terms. It reported an average 58% decline in monitored vertebrate population abundance between 1970 and 2012.
- The unit is wrong. Global forest area is about 4 billion hectares, not 4 billion acres; 4 billion acres would be far less than one-third of Earth’s land area.
- Madagascar did not separate from Africa 66 million years ago. Standard geologic accounts place its separation from Africa around 160–165 million years ago; about 88 million years ago is when it became isolated from India.
- This population figure is badly outdated. Indonesia’s population is now well above 240 million; the World Bank lists about 283.5 million people in 2024.
- This overstates the figure. Authoritative sources say forests contain most of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity or land-based species, not 80% of all biodiversity worldwide.
