ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krakatau
- Això sembla un error de data: l'erupció que va esterilitzar Krakatau va ser la gran erupció de 1883, no una erupció de 1882.
- Rakata no és una illa 'propera' a Krakatau: és el nom del fragment meridional que va quedar del mateix Krakatau després de l'erupció de 1883.
- No consta una sola erupció contínua des del 27 d'octubre de 2007: les fonts recents descriuen episodis eruptius separats, inclosos períodes nous el 2018, el 2020 i el 2021.

- Feynman’s own version places this episode at Princeton, not Caltech, and describes it as a bet about whether he could judge a theorem true or false from an informal statement—not a Caltech ‘duel’ or a promise to explain any theorem with basic physics.

- Available non-AI sources do not confirm a 4–8% ceiling. USDA says eliminating gestation stalls alone raises farrow-to-finish production costs by 8.7%, and reviews of farrowing alternatives find additional cost increases on top of that.

- The study did not report handwriting-related theta/alpha effects "across the brain." It found stronger theta/alpha connectivity mainly in parietal and central regions, and later commentary noted the analysis did not justify broad claims about each condition on its own.

- This misdescribes Beelzebub. Standard reference works identify Beelzebub as a Philistine god / the devil (“Lord of the Flies”), not as a deity of “pride and warfare.”
- This is contradicted by Golding’s own official site: Nigel Williams’s stage adaptation was completed in 1990, approved by William Golding, and premiered while Golding was still alive.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argos_(satellite_system)
- This is outdated: official sources now say Argos is operated worldwide by Kinéis, not by CLS/Woods Hole Group.
- Official Argos sources now report roughly 13,000 to 14,000 active platforms/transmitters worldwide, not 22,000.
- The official Argos documentation says the satellite footprint is about 5,000 kilometers in diameter, not 5,000 square kilometers.
- For NOAA-15, this date is wrong: NOAA says the satellite was decommissioned on August 19, 2025, not in June 2025.
- For NOAA-19, this date is wrong: NOAA says the satellite was decommissioned on August 13, 2025, not in June 2025.

- Die "Century Series" umfasst die in Serie gebauten Jagdflugzeuge F-100 bis F-106 – nicht F-107 bis F-110.
- Der 479th Fighter-Bomber Wing wurde nicht schon im November 1953 mit der F-100 ausgerüstet; offizielle USAF-Chroniken datieren die erste Zuweisung auf September 1954.
- Es waren nicht zwei, sondern vier Air-National-Guard-Staffeln mit F-100 in Südvietnam im Einsatz.
- Die Produktionszahl der F-100A ist falsch: gebaut wurden 203 F-100A, nicht 273.

- This is an anachronism: 5th Signal Command did not exist during the 1950s–1960s French basing period. The command was activated in 1974, long after the U.S. withdrawal from France in 1967.
- The expansion of TASCOM is wrong. U.S. Army sources expand TASCOM as “Theater Army Support Command,” not “Theater Area Support Command.”
- The glossary expansion is incorrect. In U.S. military usage, POL stands for “petroleum, oil, and lubricants,” not “petrol, oil, lubrication.”
- SHAPE was headquartered at Rocquencourt, but “Camp des Loges” is the wrong site name here. Camp des Loges was associated with USEUCOM near Saint-Germain-en-Laye, not SHAPE’s headquarters at Rocquencourt.

- This is outdated. France’s Ministry of the Armed Forces identifies Vice Admiral Christophe Lucas—not Yann Tainguy—as the current Mediterranean maritime prefect and commander of the Mediterranean maritime zone.
- The start date is too late. Multiple historical sources place the Flotte du Levant well before 1689, including under Richelieu in the 1620s and explicitly in existence in 1660.
