en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Pizarro
- This date is impossible. Francisca Pizarro was born in 1534, and archival/historical sources place her marriage to Hernando Pizarro in Spain around 1552–1554, not in 1537.
- Archival records do not support this. Francisco Pizarro and Quispe Sisa/Inés are documented as having two children, Francisca and Gonzalo, and a 1537 royal record explicitly says Pizarro was not married to Doña Inés.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_James_DeAngelo
- Official sentencing records say DeAngelo received 11 consecutive life-without-parole terms, not 13.
- The August 2018 charges were not described as 'abduction attempts' in the charging records. Prosecutors charged DeAngelo with 13 counts of kidnapping to commit robbery.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilya_Repin
- The Penaty estate museum opened in 1939, not 1940.
- This is incorrect on two counts: Kerensky was not one of the figures in Repin's 1901 State Council painting, and he was Russia's prime minister/head of the Provisional Government in 1917, not a president.
- Kerensky was not a Russian president. He served in 1917 as minister, then prime minister/head of the Provisional Government.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Gross_(businessman)
- Gross did lead a 2024 Perplexity financing, but it was not a "founding round." Perplexity had already been founded in 2022 and had raised earlier rounds before Gross’s 2024 investment.
- Pulse announced a $3.9 million seed round led by Gross and Friedman, not a $3.9 million investment solely from the two of them. The total round included several other investors.

- Petro Doroshenko did not first submit to the Ottoman sultan in 1674. Standard historical references place his acceptance of Ottoman protection in 1669.

- Page Hedley is consistently described in authoritative sources as OpenAI’s former policy/ethics adviser, not as a safety researcher.

- This percentile math is not automatic. Multiplying 10% × 10% × 10% only gives 0.1% when the three traits are statistically independent, which the post does not establish.

- Readwise's own MCP documentation lists a limited set of supported AI actions, not every action available in Readwise/Reader. For example, Reader supports deleting documents and subscribing to feeds, but those actions are not included in the MCP tool list.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalshi
- Kalshi’s $22 billion May 2026 funding round was led by Coatue, not TCV.
- Massachusetts does not ban sports wagering outright; it legalized and regulates it. The lawsuit alleged Kalshi lacked the required state authorization.
- The Senate action happened on April 30, 2026, not in May 2026.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyro_monorail
- This overstates Pyotr Shilovsky’s monorail work. Credible historical sources say Shilovsky developed a model, but his full-size monorail prototype was contemplated rather than completed.
- Brennan’s age is wrong here. He was born on January 28, 1852, so in 1929 he would have been 76 or 77, not 74.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_detonation_engine
- RTX describes Pratt & Whitney’s rotating detonation engine as cost-effective and lower-cost to produce, not as something that increases cost.
- The announced GE/Lockheed system is a rotating detonation ramjet, not an engine that first acts as an RDE and then reconfigures into separate ramjet and scramjet modes.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoacoustic_heat_engine
- This conflates thermoacoustic engines with thermoacoustic refrigerators/heat pumps. In standard usage, engines convert heat into acoustic power; refrigerators use acoustic power to pump heat.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerospike_engine
- This was not the first flight use of an aerospike engine. Official FAA and NASA sources document powered aerospike flight tests in 2003 and 2004, decades before October 2024.
- That two-engine test program was in fact completed. NASA and Boeing both reported a successful three-test hot-fire series using twin XRS-2200 aerospike engines in 2001.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrupaci%C3%B3n_de_Fuerzas_Especiales_...
- The winners list is missing 2013. Official U.S. Southern Command material says Colombia held the Fuerzas Comando trophy from 2012 through 2016, which includes 2013.
- This misidentifies one of the organizations behind Fuerzas Comando. Official SOUTHCOM sources say the competition is sponsored by U.S. Southern Command and executed by Special Operations Command South, not by U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_Justice_siege
- This is outdated and incorrect as to the Colombian state. Courts have since formally fixed responsibility on state actors and on Colombia itself for serious human-rights violations tied to the Palace of Justice events.
- This count is outdated. By 2017–2018, multiple disappeared victims from the Palace of Justice had already been identified, so it was no longer true that ten of the eleven still had unknown fates.
- The victim's surname is wrong. Official case records identify him as Bernardo Beltrán Hernández, not Bernardo Beltrán Fernández.
- This victim's surnames are reversed. Official case records identify him as Carlos Augusto Rodríguez Vera, not Carlos Augusto Vera Rodríguez.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_Bloc
- The date is wrong. Credible accounts place the anti-Escobar unit’s origin in 1989, and the Bloque de Búsqueda by that name was constituted in August 1992 after Escobar escaped La Catedral.
- This is too restrictive: the name has been used for more than three police task forces. Contemporary reporting documented a separate Meta/Llanos Search Bloc in 2004, and the National Police officially launched another Bloque de Búsqueda in 2025.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Eagles
- This date is too late. Credible sources trace the emergence of Águilas Negras in Norte de Santander to 2005, not 2006.
