en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_Flyer
  • This date is wrong. June 3, 1909 was when the Wrights returned to Fort Myer to resume trials; the airplane became the first U.S. military aircraft when the Signal Corps officially accepted/purchased it on August 2, 1909.
  • This mixes up 1914 and 1917. U.S. military aviation had only six airplanes and fourteen trained pilots when war began in Europe in 1914, not when the United States entered World War I in April 1917.
  • The listed height is too low. Smithsonian and National Park Service sources give the 1903 Wright Flyer’s height as 9 ft 4 in (2.8 m), not 9 ft 0 in.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_Devil_Hills,_North_Carolina
  • The 2020 census population was 7,656, not 7,633.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_Orzabal
  • This is incorrect for 2003 in the UK. Official Charts says the biggest-selling single of 2003 was Black Eyed Peas' "Where Is The Love?", not Gary Jules and Michael Andrews' "Mad World."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homoiconicity
  • The philosopher's surname is **Peirce**, not **Pierce**. The article correctly names him in the previous sentence, then misspells his name in this sentence.
  • `print-to-string` is not a standard Common Lisp function. In standard Common Lisp, the string-producing printer functions are `write-to-string`, `prin1-to-string`, and `princ-to-string`.

  • This is false. Heyting algebras are already distributive, but distributivity does not make them Boolean; for example, the Sierpiński topology is a distributive Heyting algebra that is not Boolean.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currying
  • This is incorrect because Heyting algebras are already distributive by definition, but they are not generally Boolean. A Heyting algebra is Boolean only under extra conditions such as the law of excluded middle.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oasis_(band)
  • This reverses who replaced whom. Gem Archer replaced guitarist Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs, while Andy Bell replaced bassist Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan.
  • This is outdated. Oasis reached No. 1 again in 2024, when the 30th-anniversary edition of Definitely Maybe returned to the top of the Official Albums Chart.
  • Official BRITs sources indicate Oasis won 6 BRIT Awards as a band. Noel Gallagher's 2026 Songwriter of the Year award was an individual honor, not a seventh Oasis band win.
  • Official BRITs records show Oasis won 6 BRIT Awards as a band, not 7. Noel Gallagher's 2026 Songwriter of the Year was an individual award.

  • This date is wrong: Qatar Investment Authority was established in 2005, not 2013.
  • Qatar was not the first Gulf state to give women voting rights; Oman did so earlier, in 1994.
  • This is outdated and inaccurate: Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet was released in 2014, so it is not an “upcoming” film.
  • This was not the first Gulf attempt at dialogue with Israel; Oman had established dialogue in 1993 and hosted Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1994, and Qatar itself established trade ties with Israel in 1996.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo_language
  • Neo predates 1961. A Neo manual by Arturo Alfandari is dated October 1, 1937, so 1961 is a later publication milestone rather than the language's original date.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_media_in_Albania#Media_capture_an...
  • AKEP does not issue a general permit for creating a website. Its official role is regulating electronic communications and postal services, and its website-registration page refers to registering .al domain names, not permitting websites in general.
  • This gets AMA’s composition wrong. Albania’s audiovisual regulator has seven members in total, not five.
  • This names the wrong regulator. The National Council of Radio and Television was replaced by the Audiovisual Media Authority (AMA), and current ownership-change notifications are submitted to AMA.
  • This is too categorical and is wrong for audiovisual media providers. Current AMA rules explicitly rely on the National Business Center’s commercial register and require commercial-register extracts for ownership changes.
  • This is outdated. Official Albanian regulator sources describe the analogue-to-digital TV transition as completed, not stalled.
