en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Stalin
- This is too late. Official biographical records show Vasily Stalin entered pilot training in 1938, graduated in 1940, and was already serving in the Red Army Air Force before Germany invaded on June 22, 1941.
- The count is off. Multiple biographical sources list Vasily Stalin as a three-time recipient of the Order of the Red Banner, not a two-time recipient.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin_Museum
- Contemporaneous reporting shows the Gori Stalin Museum closed in September 1988, not 1989.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svetlana_Alliluyeva
- This infobox entry incorrectly says Alliluyeva married Brajesh Singh in 1965. Contemporary U.S. government records say they wanted to marry but were denied permission, and Alliluyeva described herself as Singh’s "common law wife," not his legal spouse.
- This sentence incorrectly says Alliluyeva returned to the U.S. with Olga. Contemporary reporting shows Olga went to England, and Alliluyeva returned to the United States separately the next day.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_Stalin
- The Kazakhstan part of this sentence is incorrect: contemporary reporting said the film was shown in Kazakhstan and that there was no outright ban there, only no general commercial release.
- Khrushchev did emerge as Stalin’s successor, but not as "General Secretary": after Stalin’s death the party post was called First Secretary, and Khrushchev was elected to that office in 1953.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Yudina
- This conflates two separate episodes. The 1961 Leningrad encore got Yudina barred from the Leningrad Philharmonia, while her broader all-concert ban was imposed later, in 1963, and lasted about three years rather than five.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalin%27s_Dacha
- The dacha’s modern location is generally identified as Moscow’s Fili-Davydkovo district, not the Fili district.

- A shell company and an SPV are not the same thing. U.S. legal and regulatory definitions treat a shell company as an entity with no or nominal operations/assets, while a special purpose entity is an entity organized for a specific limited purpose.
- That overstates what a solar lease/PPA usually does. Official consumer guidance says solar-related UCC filings are typically on the solar equipment, not the home itself, though they can still complicate a sale or refinance.

- The SEC filing does show new put positions, but the $7.46B figure is wrong and 13F option “values” are not the cash paid for the options. In Form 13F, option values are reported in terms of the underlying securities.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Soller
- An official ISAG biography says Morris Soller was born in Chicago, Illinois, not Manhattan, New York City.
- An official ISAG biography says his additional biochemistry training was at Indiana University and Northwestern University; it says he taught at Roosevelt University during that period.

- The linked 20:09 run is not the current Ocarina of Time speedrun record. It is a 2014 tool-assisted speedrun, while Speedrun.com lists the Any% world record at 3:47.900 by CountLG.
- El Mariachi is generally documented as having been shot in 14 days, not 10. Library of Congress sources describe Rodriguez making it in two weeks and note the same 14-day shooting constraint when later recreating the challenge.

- This overstates what was unavailable at Shopify. Julia Fedorin’s own account says Shopify had internship openings at the time; what did not exist was a marketing intern role specifically.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meghan_Murphy
- This date is wrong: Meghan Murphy’s own pages say she launched The Same Drugs in January 2020, not 2012.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schumann_resonances
- This is outdated. The Huygens probe made in situ ELF measurements in Titan’s atmosphere in January 2005, and those measurements have been used in Schumann-resonance studies.
- This is outdated. Later papers modeled Schumann resonances for both Jupiter and Saturn, so it is no longer correct to say Saturn had no such studies or that Jupiter had only one.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antennapedia
- Antp is the name of a single gene, not the name of the whole complex. The five-gene complex is called the Antennapedia complex, or ANT-C, and Antp is just one member of it.
- The Antennapedia complex does not pattern all thoracic segments. FlyBase says ANT-C specifies the head and anterior thorax, while the separate bithorax complex specifies the posterior thorax and abdomen.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Ei%C3%9Ffeldt
- Die Datierung ist um ein Jahr zu früh. Eißfeldt wirkte in Berlin bis 1922 und wurde erst 1922 als ordentlicher Professor nach Halle berufen; 1921 erging lediglich der Ruf.
- Der Beginn der DNVP-Mitgliedschaft ist zu früh angesetzt. Fachquellen datieren Eißfeldts DNVP-Zugehörigkeit auf 1923–1928 bzw. 1923/24–1928, nicht auf 1922.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom
- This is false. Even for individual isotopes, atomic masses are not all integer multiples of hydrogen’s mass; a simple counterexample is chlorine-35.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonization_of_Venus
- Venus’s atmosphere is not completely devoid of molecular oxygen; spacecraft measurements have found trace amounts of O2.
- This is outdated: ESA’s BepiColombo spacecraft flew by Venus in 2020 and again in 2021, so Venus Express was not the last European probe to visit Venus.

- This overstates what happened. The May 18, 2026 verdict was based on timeliness, but the court had already made merits rulings earlier in the case, including dismissing Musk’s fraud claims and granting Microsoft summary judgment on two claims.

- Multiple sclerosis is classically a central nervous system disease, affecting myelin in the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves—not both the peripheral and central nervous systems.
- Ephaptic coupling is generally described as interaction via extracellular electric fields/potentials, not purely through ambient magnetic fields.
- Chimpanzees do have direct arcuate fascicle connections into the middle temporal gyrus; they are weaker than in humans, not wholly absent in apes.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_Falls
- This overstates Robertson's 1949 expedition. Credible sources say Aleksandrs Laime had already reached Angel Falls on foot in 1946 or 1947, so Robertson's expedition was not the first ever to reach the base.
