en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_China_Sea
- This overstates how low sea level was during recent ice ages. Authoritative U.S. sources put Last Glacial Maximum sea level at about 120–125 meters below today’s level, not multiple hundreds of meters.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khumbu_Icefall
- This is incorrect. Yūichirō Miura made an early ski attempt on Everest in 1970, but authoritative sources say the first successful ski descent of Everest was Davo Karničar’s summit-to-base-camp descent in 2000.
- This parenthetical gloss is wrong. A bergschrund is a glacier crevasse near the head of a mountain glacier—not an “iceberg shoulder.”

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%C5%ABichir%C5%8D_Miura
- Miura was not the first person to ski Mount Fuji. Official Fuji World Heritage materials credit Theodor von Lerch with skiing from the mountaintop of Fujisan in 1912; Miura’s own bios describe his 1966 feat as a straight downhill descent on Fuji, not the first ski there.

- This misattributes a death from the separate Japanese Mount Everest Expedition to Miura’s ski expedition.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Alexander_VI
- Rodrigo Borgia did not take over Valencia in 1455. Church reference works place his appointment in Valencia in 1458, not 1455.
- This blanket statement is incorrect. At least one of Rodrigo Borgia’s children, Pedro Luis, was legitimized in 1481, before Rodrigo became pope in 1492.
- The closing date is wrong. Vatican sources say the Holy Door for the 1500 Jubilee was closed on Epiphany, 6 January 1501, not on Christmas Day 1500.
- This overstates Rodrigo Borgia’s role. Sources say Sixtus IV himself issued the dispensation bull in December 1471, and Rodrigo Borgia was sent to carry it to Spain.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Pius_II
- This mixes up Piccolomini’s 1446 ordination in Vienna with his later priestly ordination. Reliable sources place his priestly ordination on 4 March 1447, and a scholarly source says that ordination was in Rome, not Vienna.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillaume_Bri%C3%A7onnet_(cardinal)
- The Nîmes dispute did not last until 1507. A scholarly study of the case says the litigation ran from 1496 to 1504, with a settlement reached in October 1504 and confirmed by Pope Julius II on November 15, 1504.
- Briçonnet's cardinalitial title was not 'of St.-Malo.' He was created cardinal-priest of Santa Pudenziana in Rome.
- Briçonnet was not restored in 1513. Sources place his absolution and restoration on April 7, 1514.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conclave
- Piccolomini was not the only cardinal ever said to record conclave proceedings. Later sources describe accounts and diaries from other cardinals, especially for the 1903 conclave.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic
- Jack Clark is no longer Anthropic’s head of policy. Anthropic said in March 2026 that he became Head of Public Benefit, while Sarah Heck leads Public Policy.
- Mike Krieger is no longer Anthropic’s Chief Product Officer. Anthropic said in January 2026 that he moved to Labs, and Ami Vora took over the product organization.
- This job title is outdated. Anthropic announced in January 2026 that Mike Krieger moved to Labs and that Ami Vora would lead the product organization.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asylum_in_the_United_States
- This waiting period is misstated. USCIS says most asylum applicants may apply for work authorization after 150 days, and USCIS may grant it after 180 days—not 365 days.
- This mixes up two different asylum cases. Matter of Acosta created the general “immutable characteristic” test, but it did not explicitly recognize homosexuality; the sexual-orientation precedent was Matter of Toboso-Alfonso.
- Sessions did not impose a total ban on those claims. Matter of A-B- said such claims generally would not qualify, not that they could never qualify, and that decision was later vacated in 2021.
- The date is wrong. The BIA’s ‘social visibility’ formulation is associated with Matter of C-A- in 2006, not a 2002 BIA decision.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilhan_Omar
- The reported 2024 general-election share is too high. Minnesota election results show Omar won 74.37% of the vote, not 75.3%.
- This names the wrong 2024 primary opponents. Official Minnesota results show Omar’s other August 13, 2024 Democratic primary opponents were Nate Schluter and Abena A. McKenzie, not Tim Peterson and Sarah Gad.
- This reverses Omar’s recorded vote. The House Clerk’s roll call for H.R. 2913 shows Omar voted Yea, not against the bill.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colored_National_Labor_Union
- This is chronologically wrong: the federal FEPC was created on June 25, 1941, during World War II, not after it. The original body was also a Committee on Fair Employment Practice, not a postwar “Commission.”
- The convention endorsed Frederick Douglass’s **New National Era** as its official organ, not a paper titled simply **New Era**.

- The USPTO does not register copyrights. It grants patents and registers trademarks; copyrights are registered by the U.S. Copyright Office at the Library of Congress.
- The Office of Export Enforcement is BIS’s law-enforcement arm, not the office that administers export-control licensing and policy. BIS says nuclear and advanced-electronics controls are handled by other offices such as NFPC and ONSC.

- The statue was created by James A. Wehn, not “James When,” and Seattle city sources date its unveiling to November 1912 rather than 1908.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uri_Geller
- Hier werden verschiedene Einschaltquoten vermischt: Die Uri-Geller-Show hatte laut zeitgenössischen Quotenberichten knapp 5,9 Millionen Gesamtzuschauer, aber in der werberelevanten Zielgruppe 3,21 Millionen und 19,6 % Marktanteil. Die 25,5 % beziehen sich stattdessen auf eine spätere RTL-Sendung am selben Abend mit 2,51 Millionen 14- bis 49-Jährigen.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewpatorija
- This misstates Russia’s own administrative structure: ‘Southern Russia’ is not a federal subject. Under Russia’s de facto system, Yevpatoria is in the Republic of Crimea, which is part of the Southern Federal District.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uri_Geller_Live:_Ufos_und_Aliens_%E2%8...
- Das Datum ist falsch. ProSieben kündigte die Livesendung für Samstag, den 15. November 2008, 20:15 Uhr an; der 16. November 2008 war die Wiederholung am Sonntagvormittag.
- Die Auszeichnung ist falsch bezeichnet. DWDL führte die Sendung 2008 als Goldener-Günter-Preisträger in der Kategorie „Zuschauerbeleidigung des Jahres“; zusätzlich erhielt sie den separaten Leserpreis „Super-Günter“, nicht einen Goldenen Günter für „Debakel des Jahres“.

- This date is wrong: Poklonskaya was still serving as a State Duma deputy in 2021, not out of the Duma in 2020.

- NBC aired the film without commercial breaks, but not completely uncut: contemporary reports said Spielberg approved minor trims for television.
- Kraków acquired the former factory in 2005, not 2007. In 2007, the city approved how the site would be divided and used for museum purposes.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amon_G%C3%B6th
- This is overstated. Rank-and-file membership in the Nazi Party was not what Nuremberg declared criminal, and the postwar report on Göth's case says his NSDAP membership was not criminal because he was only an ordinary party member.
- Globocnik was not the SS and Police Leader of Kraków. He was SS and Police Leader for the Lublin district; Kraków's SS and Police commander was a different official.
