en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucinda_Roy
- Virginia Tech no longer lists Lucinda Roy as the current creative-writing director. Its official pages identify her as an emerita alumni distinguished professor, while current creative-writing contacts/directors are other faculty members.
- AWP’s current official board page does not list Lucinda Roy as an officer or board member. The organization’s current vice-chair offices are held by other people.
- Lucinda Roy has published more than two novels. Official current sources list at least four: Lady Moses, The Hotel Alleluia, The Freedom Race, and Flying the Coop.
- The book’s title is generally listed as *The Humming Birds*, not *The Hummingbirds*. Official/current bibliographic sources use the two-word title.
- This is not the book’s full title. Official sources list it as *No Right to Remain Silent: What We’ve Learned from the Tragedy at Virginia Tech*.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Tech_shooting
- The NICS Improvement Amendments Act was not signed on January 5, 2008. Official federal records show President George W. Bush signed H.R. 2640 on January 8, 2008.
- The first 911 call came in at 9:41 a.m., not 9:42. The 9:42 time is when the first call reached Virginia Tech Police after being transferred.
- This repeats the same date error later in the article. H.R. 2640 was signed on January 8, 2008, not January 5.
- This is too broad. Licensed dealers may sell rifles and shotguns to out-of-state residents if the sale complies with federal and state law; only some firearm sales are limited to in-state residents.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Tucci
- This misstates the category of Tucci’s Golden Globe for Conspiracy. He won in the supporting-actor television category, not best actor in a miniseries/TV film.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoo_Young-chul
- This case did not establish cannibalism as a criminal charge. Contemporary reports say prosecutors indicted Yoo for murder-related offenses and said they had not secured evidence proving cannibalism.
- The Imun-dong count was not dismissed because authorities had already determined Jeong Nam-gyu committed it. In 2004 the court threw that charge out for lack of evidence, and Jeong Nam-gyu's confession to that killing came later.
- Contemporary reporting says massage-parlor employees—not police—caught Yoo first. A police officer arrived afterward and handcuffed him.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baruch_Goldstein
- This is inaccurate because the European Union’s current terrorist list does not include Kach. Official EU lists from 2025 and 2026 enumerate the listed groups, and Kach is not among them.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woo_Bum-kon_incident
- Police had already been alerted and deployed officers before Woo died, so saying he killed himself "before a police response" is incorrect.
- Multiple sources place Woo's final grenade explosion around 5:30–5:35 a.m., not 3:40 a.m.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Lanza
- The divorce year is wrong. Connecticut's Office of the Child Advocate says Adam Lanza's parents separated in 2002 and did not divorce until 2009.
- The age is off by a year. Official records say Lanza was born on April 22, 1992 and graduated early on June 26, 2009, which means he was 17, not 16.
- This is contradicted by the official Connecticut report. It documents Yale meetings with Lanza through February 2007 and community-psychiatrist billing records extending into 2008.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_shooting
- This is outdated. The STOP School Violence Act was enacted on March 23, 2018, and federal school-safety grants are being administered under it.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_conspiracy
- Michael Cohen was not convicted of an offense called "uttering fraudulent documents" in the federal cases cited here. Prosecutors said his crimes included tax evasion, false statements to a financial institution, illegal campaign contributions, and false statements to Congress.
- The court filings did not use the phrase "Un-indicted co-conspirator number 1." They referred to Trump as "Individual-1" (or "Individual #1" in Cohen's congressional testimony).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkady_Shevchenko
- This job title is historically wrong. During Shevchenko's tenure, the UN post was called "Under-Secretary-General for Political and Security Council Affairs," not "for Political Affairs."
- This death place is wrong. Contemporary obituaries reported that Shevchenko died at his home in Bethesda, Maryland, not in Washington, D.C.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burn_Notice
- This understates Burn Notice’s highest Rotten Tomatoes season score. Archived Rotten Tomatoes pages from May 8, 2024 show Season 3 at 100%, not 94%.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Dunn_(author)
- This conflicts with Dunn’s own account. In a 2011 interview, he said he had the option to do a PhD at Cambridge but chose MI6 instead.

- 0.42 is not the current U.S. pretax/before-redistribution Gini. Official Census data put the 2024 pretax money-income Gini at 0.488.
- The law’s acronym is FATCA, not FACTA.
- FATCA does not impose 30% withholding on all payments from the U.S.; it applies to specified "withholdable payments."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consolidated_Edison
- This is outdated: the Champlain Hudson Power Express did not come online in 2025. The project’s official site says it became operational on May 13, 2026.
- Con Edison’s own steam page says its steam is generated at five steam-generating plants, with additional steam supplied under contract from the Brooklyn Navy Yard—not seven Con Edison power plants.
- This overstates the size of the rollout. Con Edison says it has installed nearly five million smart meters, and a New York DPS filing says about 4.85 million had been deployed as of June 2024.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_Seattle
- This Tilikum Place statue was created by James A. Wehn, not “James When,” and official Seattle sources date it to 1912, not 1908.

- ഈ പ്രശസ്തമായ "ആകാശം/ഭൂമി വാങ്ങൽ" വരി Chief Seattleയുടെ ചരിത്രപരമായി രേഖപ്പെടുത്തിയ പ്രസംഗത്തിൽ ഇല്ല. സർവകലാശാലയും ചരിത്രസ്രോതസ്സുകളും ഇത് Ted Perry 1972-ലെ film script-ിൽ വന്ന പിന്നീട് ചേർത്ത വരിയാണെന്ന് കാണിക്കുന്നു.
- ഈ “ജലം നമ്മുടെ പൂർവികരുടെ ചോരയാണ്” എന്ന വരിയും Chief Seattleയുടെ രേഖപ്പെടുത്തിയ പ്രസംഗത്തിൽ ഇല്ല. ഇത് Ted Perryയുടെ 1972 script-ിൽ കാണുന്ന പിന്നീട് സൃഷ്ടിക്കപ്പെട്ട പതിപ്പിലെ വരിയോടാണ് പൊരുത്തപ്പെടുന്നത്.
- ഈ “പൂക്കൾ സഹോദരിമാർ, മാൻ/കുതിര/പരുന്ത് സഹോദരന്മാർ” എന്ന വരിയും Chief Seattleയുടെ ഉറപ്പായ രേഖപ്പെടുത്തിയ പ്രസംഗത്തിൽ ഇല്ല. ഇത് Ted Perryയുടെ 1972-ലെ കൃത്രിമമായി വികസിപ്പിച്ച speech version-ിലെ വരിയോടാണ് പൊരുത്തപ്പെടുന്നത്.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicature
- This overstates the literal meaning of "some." In standard treatments of scalar implicature, "some" is compatible with one item and even with all items; the "not all" reading is an implicature, not part of the literal semantics.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_Busch
- Kyle Busch did not begin his NASCAR career in 2003; his NASCAR national-series debut came in 2001 in the Truck Series.
- This best-finish stat is wrong. Busch won dozens of Truck Series races, so his best finish was 1st, not 14th.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_Seattle
- The sculptor’s surname was Wehn, not “When.” Official Seattle and National Park Service records identify the artist as James A. Wehn.
- The full Chief Seattle statue is at Tilikum Place in Belltown, not in the Denny Triangle.
