en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Dreher
  • This is out of date. In June–July 2026, Dreher wrote that he had moved back to the U.S., specifically to Birmingham, Alabama, after four years in Hungary.
  • Dreher's TAC blog began in 2011, not 2008.

  • This is chronologically impossible: Alexander Farnese was born in 1545, so in 1552 he was only seven years old, and he did not become Duke of Parma until 1586.
  • This is wrong for the four Continental light-dragoon regiments just described: White Plains was fought on October 28, 1776, before Congress augmented Washington’s army with those four regiments in early 1777.
  • The coalition number and year do not match. The Sixth Coalition was the 1813–1814 campaign against Napoleon; 1806 was the Prussian defeat at Jena-Auerstedt, associated with the Fourth Coalition.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tron:_Legacy
  • The year is wrong. Reliable 2010 and 2011 production coverage shows postproduction was still underway in late 2010, so it could not have wrapped on November 25, 2009.

  • Math Academy’s own docs say progression is not strictly one-topic-at-a-time after full mastery of every prior topic. Students may learn multiple unrelated topics simultaneously, proceed while some foundations are still being remediated, and sometimes continue past “conditionally completed” topics.

  • Zoë Kravitz’s character in High Fidelity is Rob Brooks, not “Rob Gorgan.” Official Hulu materials identify her character as Rob/Rob Brooks.
  • The Batman did not gross over $700 million internationally. Its international box office was about $403 million; the figure over $700 million refers to its worldwide total.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dane_DiLiegro
  • The director’s surname is misspelled here. The filmmaker and musician’s name is Tom DeLonge, with a capital “L.”
  • This role name is incorrect. Public cast listings for *Cóyotl, Hero and Beast* identify Dane DiLiegro’s character as “Cimarrón Monstro,” not “Cimerron.”

  • AmDocs did not award The Dulcinée Dialectic Best Feature Documentary. The festival’s 2026 winners page shows Best Feature Doc went to “Trains,” while Tao Ruspoli’s film received a separate Special Jury Award.
  • Tao Ruspoli is not credited as an editor or co-editor on the film’s official credits. The official site lists Susanna Della Sala as editor and Tao Ruspoli under additional editing.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archibald_Willard
  • These dimensions are far too small for Willard’s famous painting. Credible sources describe "The Spirit of '76" as a large 8-by-10-foot oil painting displayed at Abbot Hall.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1776
  • The Declaration was not signed on July 2. Congress voted for independence on July 2, adopted the Declaration’s text on July 4, and most delegates signed the engrossed copy on August 2, 1776.
  • Benjamin Franklin did not draft the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson wrote the first draft; Franklin helped revise it as a member of the drafting committee.
  • St. Petersburg’s Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre did not open in 1776. The Mariinsky’s own history dates that theatre and company to 1783; the year 1776 refers instead to the founding of Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre.
  • Kentucky County itself did not become the state of Kentucky. It was divided into Fayette, Jefferson, and Lincoln counties in 1780; Kentucky became a state in 1792 after a longer separation process from Virginia.
  • The Second Continental Congress did not end on December 12, 1776. It continued until March 1, 1781; on December 12, 1776, Congress merely adjourned Philadelphia and soon reconvened in Baltimore.
  • Valcour Island did not buy time to defend New York City. British control of New York City had already been opened on September 15, 1776; the battle instead delayed the British advance from Canada toward the Hudson Valley.

  • The year is wrong. Authoritative sources place *The Disappointment* in 1767, not 1762.
  • The date is wrong. The congressional resolution was introduced on June 25, 1999, not July 25, 1999.

  • This overstates the law. The 1856 legislation made policing compulsory in counties and boroughs of England and Wales, not in all cities across Britain.
  • This appears outdated. Bury FC's official website identifies the club mascot as Peeler, not Robbie the Bobby.

  • This overstates the 3 pm schedule. UK Parliament says PMQs moved to one Wednesday session in 1997, but only stayed at 3:00–3:30 pm until the start of 2003; they now take place at 12 noon.

  • This sentence misstates both Dalmeny’s constituency and his Admiralty office: he represented Stirling Burghs, not the county seat of Stirling, and he was a Lord/Civil Lord of the Admiralty, not First Lord of the Admiralty.
  • Rosebery did not retire from politics permanently in 1896. He remained politically active for years afterward and only withdrew altogether in 1905.

  • This parenthetical identification is anachronistic and incorrect. The American Baptist Foreign Mission Society was a mission board, while American Baptist Churches USA was not formed until 1972.
  • The book itself does not say it has 13,484 entries. Its introduction says it contains 13,484 examples, including 401 proverbs.

  • The $441 billion figure was reported as planned investment, not money already spent. Contemporary reporting said Sichuan planned to invest 3 trillion yuan (about US$441 billion) by 2010.
  • The amounts are wrong. Chinese state reporting said Saudi Arabia donated US$50 million in cash and US$10 million in relief materials, not €40 million and €8 million.
  • This mislabels EMS intensity XI. On the European Macroseismic Scale, XI is 'Devastating'; 'Very destructive' is intensity X.
