- This suburbicarian see is not called "Sabina and Mentana." The Holy See and the diocese itself identify it as Sabina-Poggio Mirteto (historically Sabina, later Sabina e Poggio Mirteto); Mentana was a separate ancient diocese whose succession ended in 804.
- Eduardo Francisco Pironio's suburbicarian title was Sabina-Poggio Mirteto, not "Sabina-Porto Mirteto."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libelle_(literary_genre)
- “Libelliste” means the writer/author of a libelle, not its publisher.
- This overstates the genre: libelles were not only political; scholarship also treats literary and personal polemical attacks as libelles.

- The June 1918 Battle of the Piave was launched by Austro-Hungarian forces, not by a combined German-Austrian attack.

- This is off by a month. Official tour materials said the WITHERED 2025 WORLD TOUR kicked off at the end of July in San Francisco, with a listed July 30, 2025 show at The Warfield.
- EA’s own current official soundtrack materials still list d4vd’s “What Are You Waiting For” on the Madden NFL 26 soundtrack, contradicting the claim that it was removed.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Jassy
- Amazon’s own filings say Jassy led AWS starting in 2006, not 2003, and that he was AWS CEO only from April 2016 to July 2021.
- Amazon’s 2018 proxy lists Jassy’s 2016 total compensation as $35,609,644, not $36.6 million.
- Amazon’s 2025 proxy does not report $40.1 million as Jassy’s 2024 total compensation; its Summary Compensation Table lists $1,596,889.

- This is incorrect because Meta already has both first-party hardware and its own operating system: Meta Quest headsets run on Meta Horizon OS.
- The month is wrong: Meta announced Llama 2 on July 18, 2023, not in June 2023.

- This overstates Amazon’s PR/FAQ process. Amazon’s own materials say Working Backwards was used for **most major products and initiatives since 2004**, not literally **all projects** at Amazon.

- The boy’s name is recorded as Andrew Branning/Brenning, not “Benning,” and archival records show he was still alive after 1801, so the claim that he was hanged is incorrect.
- This overstates the buying power of 12 pence. In Æthelstan’s reign, an ox was valued at a mancus, and a mancus was worth 30 silver pennies.
- William Petty was not Oxford’s professor of medicine. He studied medicine and held anatomy posts there, especially Tomlins Reader/Professor of Anatomy.

- This reverses the timeline. The Bahamian regulator froze FTX Digital Markets’ assets on November 10, 2022, while FTX’s Chapter 11 petitions were filed on November 11, 2022.
- This gets the sequence wrong. NYDFS says it closed Signature because the bank could not provide a credible liquidity plan; the federal systemic-risk exception was announced afterward, once the bank had already been closed.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTX
- FTX Trading Ltd. operated the FTX exchange, but the crypto hedge fund was Alameda Research, a separate company. Official SEC and CFTC filings describe FTX and Alameda as distinct entities.
- Caroline Ellison was not an Alameda founder. Alameda's own 2021 announcement says Ellison joined the firm in March 2018, after its 2017 founding.
- By December 13, 2022, Bankman-Fried was no longer FTX's CEO. He resigned on November 11, 2022, and John J. Ray III became CEO.

- Normal adult ventricular volume is much smaller than 200 mL. Standard references put ventricular CSF at roughly 25 mL, with total CSF around 150 mL.
- The cited fixation study does not support a 60-second near-complete immobilization claim. It reports aldehyde fixation times in the range of minutes to over an hour, with glutaraldehyde fixing cytosolic proteins in under 4 minutes, not 60 seconds.
- White matter is not fixed during learning. Reviews of human and animal work report learning-related structural changes in white matter, including myelination and other tract-level changes.
- The figure and paper are about EEG, not ECG. Stecker et al. studied electroencephalogram changes during cooling toward electrocerebral silence.
- The cited DHCA paper does not show that brain activity reliably 'stops completely' at about 16°C. It found substantial inter-patient variability, with complete EEG silence not guaranteed even by 18°C or 30 minutes of cooling.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kieran_Culkin
- This is incorrect because Culkin appeared in films before 2010, including Lymelife (2008) and Paper Man (2009). Scott Pilgrim vs. the World was not his first film role after a six-year gap.
- The film title is misspelled here. The 2016 movie Kieran Culkin appeared in is titled *Wiener-Dog*, not *Weiner-Dog*.

- This is misleading on timing and status: Trump fired Chris Krebs in November 2020, not “just” before this June 2026 post. In April 2025, Trump ordered an investigation and revoked any active security clearance held by Krebs, who was already a former official.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Salerno
- The "without parole" part is incorrect. Salerno's federal sentence was imposed before November 1, 1987, when federal parole was abolished, and contemporaneous reporting stated he had an earliest possible parole date in 2016.
- This is overstated. Contemporary reporting said Salerno was found guilty on 28 counts but acquitted on five, including the Teamsters-election tampering allegations.
