en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karstadt
- Karstadt’s 2013 operating income was not €2.673 billion. Contemporary reporting shows Karstadt’s 2012/13 EBIT was negative, while roughly €2.7 billion was its revenue.
- Eva-Lotta Sjöstedt was not Karstadt’s continuing CEO. She resigned on 7 July 2014, and Stephan Fanderl was appointed the new Karstadt chief in October 2014.
- This ownership statement is outdated. Since 2024, Central Group has taken over the remaining Signa stake, so Signa no longer holds a 49% minority shareholding in the KaDeWe Group.
- This is no longer true. Galeria moved its headquarters from Essen to Düsseldorf in 2025.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Edgar_Hoover
- Hoover led the FBI, but he did not found it. The Bureau traces its origin to 1908, and the FBI identifies Stanley Finch as the Bureau’s first leader.
- Hoover was not the first unelected government official to lie in state in the Capitol. The Architect of the Capitol lists several earlier unelected honorees, including George Dewey, John J. Pershing, and Douglas MacArthur.
- At Little Bohemia, the gangsters were not in FBI custody and did not ‘free themselves from captivity.’ FBI histories say agents attempted a raid, but the gangsters escaped before agents had fully surrounded the lodge.
- At Little Bohemia, one FBI agent and one civilian were killed—not two agents and one civilian. FBI histories identify Agent W. Carter Baum and a civilian Conservation Corps worker as the fatalities.

- This start date is wrong. Forbes says Musk has held the No. 1 spot since late May 2024, not since 2025.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk
- Forbes says Musk regained the top spot in May 2024, not 2025, so the sentence's timing is wrong.
- Neuralink announced FDA approval for its first in-human clinical study in May 2023, not September 2023.
- Musk's removal as Tesla chair was part of the SEC's September 2018 settlement, and Tesla named Robyn Denholm chair in November 2018.
- The Musk Foundation's 2024 filing shows about $463 million in net assets, not over $14 billion.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia
- Earth-2 was not newly launched in January 2026. NVIDIA had already announced Earth-2 years earlier; January 2026 was a new Earth-2 family of open weather models, not the initial launch of Earth-2 itself.
- RTX replaced Nvidia’s Quadro workstation branding, but not GTX. Nvidia still maintains GeForce GTX product lines alongside RTX.
- DriveWorks is not Nvidia’s automotive operating system. Nvidia describes DriveWorks as a software development kit, while DRIVE OS is the operating system.
- Nvidia’s proprietary driver is not limited to x86/x64 and ARMv7-A. Nvidia publishes official Linux aarch64/ARM64 drivers, and CUDA’s Linux installation guide supports ARM64 platforms.
- Nvidia announced GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti availability for September 20, 2018, not September 27.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Priem
- RPI had already elected Curtis Priem vice-chair effective January 1, 2023, so 2024 is too late.
- Recent IRS-backed filings show the foundation does have non-grant expenses, so describing it as having "no overhead" is inaccurate.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Su
- This compresses two events that were years apart. IBM hired Lisa Su in 1995, but contemporaneous and official bios show she later rose to vice president, rather than being appointed VP immediately upon joining IBM.
- The year is wrong. Multiple official biographies state that MIT Technology Review honored Lisa Su in 2002, not 2001.

- The Edison Awards did not list this as a 2024 'Edison Award.' In November 2024, the organization announced Huang as the 2025 Edison Achievement Award honoree.
- Forbes did not confer that ranking. Spencer Huang's bar R&D Cocktail Lab was featured on Asia's 50 Best Bars, a list that Forbes reported on but said was released by Drinks International.

- This is outdated. De Maizière gave up the chair of the Deutsche Gesellschaft in November 2022, and the organization now lists other people as its chairs.
- This is outdated. Werkstatt Deutschland e.V. was deleted from the register of associations in 2017, so de Maizière cannot currently be its vice-chair.

- This mixes up two different Russian programs. 9M730 Burevestnik is a nuclear-powered cruise missile, while the anti-satellite project called Burevestnik is a separate space program (Project 14K168).
- This again conflates two separate systems: 9M730 Burevestnik is the cruise missile Putin unveiled in 2018, while Project 14K168 Burevestnik is a different anti-satellite project.
- Kosmos-2504 was launched on a Rokot with a Briz-KM upper stage, not a Briz-M upper stage.
