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/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.

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.

  • The evidence cited here points to sharply lower cash generation, not to the major hyperscalers already being cash-flow negative as a group. Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft still reported positive cash flow/free cash flow in their latest official filings, and the Yahoo article quoted in the post said combined free cash flow could still be about $4 billion.

  • Those numbers do not restore the original weights. The original allocation was 100:200:700 (10%/20%/70% or 1:2:7), while 120:60:620 equals 15%/7.5%/77.5% and reverses the first two assets’ relative weights.

  • This quote is inaccurate: OpenAI’s report says the incident involved “state-of-the-art cyber capabilities,” not “newly state-of-the-art cyber capabilities.”

  • This is historically off: Shunten is associated with beginning his dynasty in 1187, but the unification of Ryukyu/Okinawa is attributed to Shō Hashi in 1429, not to Shunten in 1187.
  • This number is wrong in standard Ryukyuan historical tradition: the Tenson dynasty is conventionally described as having 25 generations/rulers, not 15.

  • 这次埃特纳火山喷发的开始日期通常记为1923年6月17日,不是6月18日。把它列在“6月18号”条目下会把喷发日期晚写一天。

  • 這裡把李之藻所譯西方邏輯著作的書名寫錯了。通行文獻都記為《名理探》,不是《名理學》。
  • 赫美玲《官話》出版年份不是民國三年(1914),而是1916年,即民國五年。
  • 這裡的文字明顯誤寫。張之洞在《學務綱要》的原話是「以存國文,端士風」,不是「瑞士之風」。
