- Fully dollarized countries can still face balance-of-payments crises or IMF-recognized balance-of-payments needs. IMF sources explicitly say dollarization does not eliminate external crises, and Panama—an officially dollarized economy—received IMF financing in 2020 for immediate balance-of-payments needs.

- This is too narrow. Dollars from cross-border transactions need not be used only for U.S. goods or invested only in U.S. debt/equity; official balance-of-payments categories also include services, income/transfers, deposits, loans, direct investment, derivatives, and reserve assets.
- Not necessarily. Foreigners can obtain dollars through many channels besides selling goods, including services, income flows, asset sales, deposits, loans, and other financial transactions.
- Not just consumption. BEA says imports are subtracted because they are embedded across C, I, G, and X, all of which can include imported goods and services.

- Kieran Gibbs was not named media director. Inter Miami officially announced him as an on-air talent and host for club content on Apple TV.
- Inter Miami’s official supporters page lists five official supporters groups, not four. It also includes IMS.MMXX.
- This is outdated and no longer true. Nu Stadium officially opened on April 4, 2026, and Inter Miami began playing there that day.

- This appears to mix up the soundtrack album with the song “Golden.” The soundtrack album was only nominated at the Grammys, while “Golden” won; official label material also describes the soundtrack album as RIAA-certified Platinum, not Double Platinum.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mescaline
- This date is wrong: Silas Weir Mitchell's peyote/mescal report was published in 1896, not 1986.
- This overgeneralizes across countries. France does not exempt peyote: French law specifically added "peyotl ou peyote" to the narcotics list.
- This cites the wrong legal basis. The specific federal peyote-use protection is tied to a DEA exemption and the American Indian Religious Freedom Act Amendments of 1994, not the original 1978 AIRFA alone.

- For federal campaigns, $3,500 is the limit per election, not the total per person. In the 2025–2026 cycle, an individual can generally give $3,500 for the primary and another $3,500 for the general election.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/13_Vend%C3%A9miaire
- This misidentifies both Carrier’s role and the “infernal columns.” Carrier was a Convention representative on mission at Nantes, not a field general, and the “infernal columns” were the punitive columns organized under General Turreau in early 1794.
- This gets both the date and the history wrong. Savenay was fought on 23 December 1793, and it did not end the Chouannerie, which continued as a distinct uprising until 1800.
- This conflates the Chouannerie with the Vendée uprising. Charette’s February 1795 peace was the Vendéan treaty of La Jaunaye, while the Chouans’ truce was the separate treaty of La Mabilais in April 1795.

- Koufontinas was transferred to an agricultural prison in 2018; he was not paroled. Contemporary reports say the move followed a transfer decision/request while he remained incarcerated.
- The order was issued by the Lamia prosecutor’s office, not by “the courts,” and it was issued on February 23, 2021, immediately after doctors’ request—not “a few days later.”

- The company was not renamed "Alcoa" in 1907. In 1907 it became the Aluminum Company of America; "Alcoa" became the official company name much later.
- This misidentifies Old Overholt's partners. Brand histories identify Henry Clay Frick's partners as Andrew Mellon and Charles W. Mauck/Mauk, not Richard Mellon.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupita_Nyong%27o
- This is incorrect: Vogue itself described Lupita Nyong’o’s July 2014 issue as her first Vogue cover and the October 2015 issue as her second. Those covers were 15 months apart, so they were not consecutive.
- The director’s name is misspelled here. Credible coverage of this Public Theater production identifies the director as Saheem Ali, not “Shahem Ali.”

- Bain Capital Credit’s current AUM is higher than this. Its official About page says Bain Capital Credit has $65 billion in assets under management.
- Jonathan Lavine’s current title at Bain Capital is different. Bain Capital’s own people page identifies him as a Senior Advisory Partner, not “senior advisor.”

- This timing is wrong. Donald Trump’s second inauguration was on January 20, 2025, so January 16 was four days before his inauguration, not one day after.
- The hearing date is incorrect. Senate records show Pulte’s nomination hearing before the Banking Committee was on February 27, 2025, not February 20.
