- Greg Brockman did not found Stripe. Stripe identifies Patrick and John Collison as its cofounders, while OpenAI’s own launch post described Brockman as Stripe’s former CTO.
- That blanket statement is false. Delaware law expressly allows entity-type conversions and also allows nonstock corporations to merge or consolidate with stock corporations, with the resulting corporation permitted to be organized for profit.

- Spacey wurde 2025 in Cannes nicht vom offiziellen Festival geehrt. Die Auszeichnung kam von der Better World Fund Gala, die laut Berichterstattung kein offizieller Teil der Filmfestspiele von Cannes war.
- Anthony Rapp erstattete 2020 keine Strafanzeige gegen Spacey, sondern reichte eine Zivilklage ein. Das Verfahren in New York war ein Zivilprozess, kein zuvor „mangels Beweisen“ verworfenes Strafverfahren.
- Die aktuelle offizielle MPTF-Seite führt Kevin Spacey nicht in den Leitungsgremien. In den derzeit veröffentlichten Listen des 'Board of Directors' und 'Board of Governors' taucht sein Name nicht auf.

- Die Recyclat-Initiative wurde laut Werner & Mertz nicht 2010, sondern offiziell am 7. Dezember 2012 gegründet.
- Die 80%-Angabe für 2010 passt nicht zur Unternehmenschronologie: Laut Werner & Mertz lag der Recyclatanteil bis 2011 bei über 65 % und erst 2013 bei über 80 %.
- 2014 gab es laut Werner & Mertz zunächst nur eine Testreihe; die Umstellung aller PET-Flaschen auf 100 % Recyclat mit 20 % Gelber-Sack-Anteil erfolgte erst 2015.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EU%E2%80%93Mercosur_Partnership_Agreem...
- 1 May 2026 was the start of provisional application of the interim trade agreement, not the entry into force of the full EU–Mercosur Partnership Agreement.
- The key EU–Mercosur political agreement was announced on 6 December 2024, not 6 December 2025.
- The final EU–Mercosur package protects 344 EU geographical indications, not 357.
- That is incorrect: large parts of the political/cooperation chapters can be applied provisionally, and the interim trade agreement has already been provisionally applied.
- The EU–India FTA was concluded on 27 January 2026, not signed ten days after the EU–Mercosur signing.

- Turner Enterprises' official leadership page lists Taylor Glover as co-chairman, not CEO/president; it lists David K. Withers as president.
- Current landownership rankings do not place Turner second in North America; a leading 2026 ranking places him fourth in the United States alone.

- This is anachronistic. Robinson became Chief Protector in the Port Phillip Aboriginal Protectorate in 1838–1839, but the Victorian Board for the Protection of Aborigines did not exist until decades later.
- The 1830 reward was not a flat £5 for every Aboriginal person captured. Contemporary records say it was £5 for each adult captured and £2 for each child.

- This is incorrect: black-box distillation/model extraction from API outputs has been demonstrated repeatedly in the literature, including for large language models. API access may limit efficiency or fidelity, but the signal is plainly sufficient for distillation in many settings.

- The rainbow lorikeet’s scientific name is misspelled here. The accepted species name is Trichoglossus moluccanus, with a final “s.”
- This overstates the species’ status. The Glaucous Macaw is not classified as extinct; BirdLife/IUCN treat it as Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct).
- This sentence mixes up different laws and dates. In the U.S. the law is the Wild Bird Conservation Act of 1992, while the EU’s permanent ban on wild bird imports was adopted in 2007.

- The scientific name is mismatched here: the sulphur-crested cockatoo is Cacatua galerita, while Cacatua sulphurea is the yellow-crested cockatoo.
- This is too narrow: documented speech imitation is not limited to songbirds and parrots. Australian musk ducks, which are waterfowl, have also been shown to imitate a human voice.

- The Flash version was shut down in December 2020, not on August 20, 2021. The August 2021 post says the Steam client had been updated to HTML5 and that Flash was already no longer supported.
- Official Tanki Online documentation says the game has three currencies, not four: Crystals, Rubies, and Tankoins.
- This is outdated: after the Rubies update, Megagolds were replaced with Ruby Golds, and those drops give Rubies rather than 10,000 crystals.
