- Python 2.0 added cycle-detecting garbage collection and Unicode support, but not reference counting. Python already used reference counting before 2.0.
- Slicing makes a shallow copy of the list itself, not shallow copies of each element. The elements in the new list are references to the same underlying objects.
- Reference counting plus cyclic GC is a CPython implementation detail, not a property of Python in general. Other Python implementations use different memory-management strategies.
- That support timeline is only fully true for Python 3.13 and later. Versions before 3.13 got 18 months of bugfix support, not two full years.

- This is not generally how EB-1 works. A person already in the United States can often apply for an EB-1 green card through adjustment of status without returning to Russia.
- The United States still has an embassy in Russia: U.S. Embassy Moscow. Its staffing and services are limited, but it exists.

- That unemployment figure is far too high. Recent college graduates’ unemployment was about 5.7% in Q1 2026; roughly 41.5% were underemployed, which is a different measure.

- This misstates the titles of the leaders named. Sukarno was a head of state, but Jawaharlal Nehru was India's prime minister, and Gamal Abdel Nasser was still Egypt's prime minister until he became president in 1956.

- Это неверно: по Положению 1864 года губернская управа состояла из председателя и 6 членов, а уездная — из председателя и 2 членов (с возможностью увеличить число членов до 6). Кроме того, члены управ не назначались, а избирались земскими собраниями на три года.

- Это перепутывает авторство саундтрека. Официальные релизы Ubisoft Music указывают, что Vol. 1 выпущен как альбом Chris Tilton, а Vol. 2 — как альбом Sarah Schachner; Ryan Amon указан лишь среди авторов полной версии, а не как основной автор с «участием» остальных.
- Английское название миссии указано неверно. В официальном описании DLC она называется “The American Prisoner”, а не “American Prison”.

- This is overbroad. Federal campaigns may not accept contributions from some U.S. citizens or permanent residents, including federal government contractors.

- Letlow was a semifinalist, not a finalist, in ULM’s 2020 presidential search. ULM’s official search pages list her among the semifinalists and name three different finalists.

- В действующих правилах срок действия такого паспорта привязан не к его получению владельцем, а к дню оформления нового паспорта.

- Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel frescoes were not purely decorative. They were made for a functioning papal chapel used for liturgy and conclaves, and Vatican sources explicitly describe the paintings as helping make scriptural truths understandable.

- This sentence wrongly attributes California Coastal Commission permitting changes to SB 131 alone. Official state materials say the coastal-permitting and Coastal Commission appeal changes were part of the AB 130/SB 131 package, and AB 130 specifically contains the Coastal Act amendments.
