en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1930_FIFA_World_Cup

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1956
- This is an anachronism: the United Methodist Church did not exist in 1956. The 1956 vote on full clergy rights for women was taken by The Methodist Church; the United Methodist Church was formed in 1968.
- September 13, 1956 was not when IBM's hard disk drive was invented. IBM and Computer History Museum sources show the technology was developed earlier in the 1950s, and 1956 marks its introduction/shipment, not the invention date.
- Prasanna Jayawardena did not die in 2019. Official Sri Lankan Supreme Court judgments published years later still list him as a sitting judge.
- The date is wrong. Soviet military intervention in Hungary began on October 24, 1956, while the larger crushing offensive began on November 4—not October 26.
- Karnataka was not formed under that name in 1956. The reorganized state created on November 1, 1956 was Mysore State, which was renamed Karnataka in 1973.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Randolph_Hearst

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Jenkins
- This is outdated. Jenkins’s own CV says his monthly Christian Century column ran from 2008 through 2022, and a 2022 Christian Century piece was explicitly titled “My last note from the global church.”
- This appears to be outdated. Current Baylor pages identify Jenkins as the program’s director, not co-director.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bart_D._Ehrman
- This is outdated. Ehrman retired from UNC at the end of 2025 and is now Professor Emeritus, not a current Distinguished Professor.
- This publication status is outdated. Simon & Schuster published the book on March 24, 2026, so it was no longer merely 'announced for 2026.'
- This misstates Ehrman’s role on the book. The 4th edition credits Bart D. Ehrman as a coauthor, not a co-editor.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religulous
- The film’s runtime is not 96 minutes. Authoritative film-reference sources list Religulous at 101 minutes (1 hour 41 minutes).
- October 3, 2008 was not the film’s first U.S. release date. Authoritative sources show Religulous opened in New York on October 1, 2008; October 3 was a later opening/expansion.
- The film did not open in Los Angeles on October 1, 2008. AFI records a New York opening on October 1 and a Los Angeles opening on October 3.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Maher
- This is outdated. The Television Academy now lists Bill Maher as having won an Emmy, so he is not a winless nominee.
- The nomination count is out of date. The Television Academy currently lists Bill Maher with 42 Primetime Emmy nominations, not 41.
- The year/category result is wrong. In the Television Academy's 2015 listing, Vice was a nominee, not the winner; the 2014 listing shows Vice as the winner in that category.
- Executive Order 13769 applied to seven countries, not five. The White House archive lists Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.
- This nomination count is outdated. The Television Academy currently lists Bill Maher with 42 Primetime Emmy nominations, not 41.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquarium
- The chemist's surname was Warington, not Warrington.
- Gosse's 1854 book was titled *The Aquarium: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea*, not *Deep Water*.
- The zoologist's surname was Stimpson, not Stimson.
- Converting ammonia to nitrate is nitrification; it changes nitrogen's form but does not remove nitrogen from the water.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_cup
- This definition is too broad: some major World Cups do not award the title of world champion. In alpine skiing, for example, the World Cup awards the title "Winner of the FIS World Cup," while the separate World Ski Championships crown the world champion.
- In season-long World Cups, cumulative points do not necessarily determine a world champion. In alpine skiing, FIS says the season winner is the "Winner of the FIS World Cup," while world champions are decided at the separate World Ski Championships.

- The January 2026 Trump rules cited here were not blanket domestic chip controls. They were chiefly export-license conditions for certain advanced chips going from the U.S. to China/Macau, plus a tariff on certain imports, so saying the administration had already broadly "enacted all of them" overstates what the rules actually did.
- The U.S. did not impose a blanket ban on Claude Fable for everyone. Anthropic says the government export-control order required restricting access by foreign nationals, and Anthropic then suspended access for all users only because it could not verify nationality in real time.

- The cited 22-week BLS figure is not the average time it takes a job seeker to get hired. BLS says that statistic measures ongoing unemployment spells and should not be interpreted as how long people search before finding work.
