en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Cherkashin
- This is wrong on the start date: Cherkashin entered the MGB in 1952, not the KGB. The KGB was created in 1954, when it took over the MGB/MVD security functions.
- The First Chief Directorate was the KGB’s foreign intelligence/foreign operations arm, not a department dedicated specifically to foreign counterintelligence. Foreign counterintelligence was only one sub-function within it.

- This misnames the 1994 organization. The center created in 1994 was the National Counterintelligence Center; the National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) was not established until December 2014.

- This overstates the evidence. Major reviews have found polygraphs can distinguish lies from truth at above-chance rates in some specific-incident investigations, even though they are too inaccurate for employee-security screening.
- This misattributes the conclusion. The quoted line comes from Stanford Research Institute researchers' report on Uri Geller, not an official CIA-authored conclusion.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridget_Moynahan
- This is incorrect because Bridget Moynahan had already appeared in the 1999 film Row Your Boat before Coyote Ugly was released in 2000.
- Coyote Ugly was a breakthrough role, but not Moynahan’s feature-film debut; she had already appeared in the 1999 film Row Your Boat.
- This is outdated: Moynahan had later screen credits after 2019, including the 2023 short film Swipe NYC and the CBS series Boston Blue in 2025–2026.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gisele_B%C3%BCndchen
- This is incorrect: Bündchen did not retire from runway modeling then. Multiple reputable sources report she retired from the runway in April 2015.
- This overstates her streak. Forbes reported that Kendall Jenner replaced Bündchen as the top-earning model in 2017; Forbes also said Bündchen earned more than any other model between 2002 and 2016.
- The organization name is wrong. Earth Hour says it is organized by WWF, and in the U.S. WWF's official name is World Wildlife Fund, not "World Wildlife Foundation."
- This misidentifies the Goodwill office in Roxbury. Roxbury is the headquarters of Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries, a local Goodwill, while Goodwill Industries International is based in Rockville, Maryland.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count%E2%80%93min_sketch
- The standard count–min sketch bound is not an additive error of just ε. The point-query error is additive in the stream size: at most εN (equivalently ε‖a‖₁) with probability 1−δ.
- The summation limits are off by one. A sketch row has w columns, so the rowwise inner-product sum should cover exactly w entries, e.g. k=1..w or 0..w−1, not 0..w.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_Bloom_filter
- "Spectral Bloom filter" is not just another name for a counting Bloom filter. It is a distinct Bloom-filter variant introduced separately for multiset/multiplicity queries.
- This is too absolute: counting Bloom filters can produce false negatives, especially when deletions are supported and an item is deleted incorrectly.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Mosley
- This publisher/year combination is impossible. HarperCollins was founded in 1989, and contemporary sources list 1984 editions of Mosley’s Zanuck biography as published by Little, Brown or Granada, not HarperCollins.
- This entry mixes details from different editions. WorldCat lists the 1985 book as published by Stein and Day, while Scarborough House and ISBN 9781589796560 belong to a 1990 edition/eBook, not a 1985 edition.
- The year is wrong. Multiple catalog and review sources list Hearst Books’ Marshall, Hero for Our Times as a 1982 publication, not 1972.

- This misidentifies Synergy Marine Group as Dali’s owner. Official NTSB materials say Dali was owned by Grace Ocean Private Limited and managed by Synergy Marine; AP also reported Maersk Saltoro was managed by Synergy, not identified as Synergy-owned.
- This misstates the Justice Department’s demand. DOJ said it sought over $100 million to recover federal response and channel-clearing costs, plus punitive damages on top of that—not $100 million split between compensatory and punitive claims.
- Official NTSB reports place the impact later and slower. They say Dali struck Pier 17 at about 1:29:09–1:29:10 a.m. at about 6.4–6.5 knots, not 1:28:45 a.m. at roughly 8 knots.

- The U.S. and Soviet Union did not actually reach that agreement. Eisenhower proposed reciprocal overflights in 1955, but the Soviet Union rejected it; the Open Skies Treaty enabling such flights was signed in 1992 by a larger group of states after the Cold War.
