- Porta del Popolo is a gate in Rome’s Aurelian Walls, not in the Vatican walls.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaf
- Leaf cuticles reduce water loss, but they are not impermeable to water vapor. Water vapor can diffuse through the cuticle, which is why cuticular transpiration occurs.
- This gives the wrong time for the first angiosperms. The earliest unequivocal angiosperm fossils are from the Early Cretaceous, not the Triassic.
- Bambusa bambos is not in Aracaceae. Bamboo is a grass, and Kew lists Bambusa bambos in the family Poaceae.
- Borassus is not in Poaceae. Borassus is a genus of fan palms in the family Arecaceae.

- This overstates the book’s award status. The official Baillie Gifford/Samuel Johnson Prize records list Parallel Worlds on the 2005 longlist, not the shortlist/finalists.

- Heike Kamerlingh Onnes discovered superconductivity, but he did not first discover superfluidity. Nobel sources credit Pyotr Kapitsa with discovering superfluidity in helium in 1937.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_temperature
- Purcell and Pound’s 1951 LiF experiment did not create the negative-temperature state by simply removing the crystal from the field. Contemporary descriptions say they rapidly reversed the magnetic field, leaving the spins temporarily antiparallel to the new field.
- For a bounded two-level system in the canonical ensemble, negative temperatures are still needed to describe states above the equal-population point. Standard treatments show the internal energy passes through an infinite-temperature midpoint and enters a negative-temperature regime at higher energy.
- NMR inversion is conventionally produced by a 180° pulse, not by pulses ‘over 180°’. Standard NMR references describe magnetization inversion with a 180° pulse and note that 180° is the null point, with larger flip angles going past inversion.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_the_Impossible
- This date is wrong. Quantum teleportation was proposed in 1993 and first demonstrated experimentally in 1997, not 1988.
- This overstates and misstates Einstein's role. Black holes are a prediction of general relativity, and Einstein's later 1939 argument against their physical formation is now understood to have been mistaken.
- This mixes up the institutions and dates. Caltech's blue-green visible-light result was reported in 2007, the 2008 red-light work was from UC Berkeley, and KIT's visible-light cloak was reported in 2011.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermsdorf_(bei_Ruhland)
- Das ist veraltet bzw. falsch: Schwarzheide/Schipkau war nicht ein Verkehrslandeplatz, sondern ein Sonderlandeplatz, und seine Genehmigung wurde zum 1. Oktober 2024 widerrufen.
- Die Verwaltungsanschrift der Gemeinde ist nicht Hauptstraße 13b in Hermsdorf. Offizielle Verzeichnisse führen die Gemeindeverwaltung beim Amt Ruhland in der Rudolf-Breitscheid-Straße 4 in Ruhland.
- Das Schloss Lipsa wird nach den aktuellen Angaben des Amtes Ruhland nicht als Altenpflegeheim genutzt; es steht leer.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin-Hermsdorf
- Hermsdorf is not the sixth-largest Ortsteil of Reinickendorf by area. Based on the district’s own area figures, it is the fifth-largest.
- This school listing is outdated. The current Berlin school directory lists the school at Olafstraße 32–34 as Waldseeschule, not Richard-Keller-Schule.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_oil
- Balsam of Peru is not an essential oil. Authoritative sources describe it as a resin/balsam from Myroxylon, often specifically called Myroxylon pereirae resin.
- This is too absolute: essential-oil pesticides can harm non-target organisms. Reviews document lethal and sublethal effects on pollinators, predators, aquatic organisms, and other beneficial species.
- These neem LD50 values are misreported. Published sources give neem oil oral LD50 values in milliliters or grams per kilogram, and dermal LD50 values above 2000 mg/kg—not 14 mg/kg orally and >2 mg/kg dermally.

- Geneva does not generally require a medical reason to approve air conditioning. Its official rules allow permits when cooling need is demonstrated by overheating or internal-load criteria; medical need is only one special derogation route.

- This vote total is misformatted. Garbarino’s 2016 total was 38,235 votes, not 38.235.
- The official 2020 Republican primary results were about 63.9% for Garbarino and 36.1% for LiPetri, not 65%–35%.

- Official earthquake locations do not place both epicenters in San Felipe. USGS places the two events southeast of Yumare, and INGV described the first as 28 km from San Felipe rather than in it.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETH_Zurich
- Credit Suisse’s crisis and merger happened in 2023, not 2025. ETH’s own pages show the Alumni Association first sponsored the teaching award in 2025.
- The SOLA-Stafette does have 14 sections, but its official total distance is about 114.77 km, not 140 km.
- ETH’s own project pages do not show a Hönggerberg opening in 2024. The original plan was for construction to begin in 2024, and the project is now delayed with completion expected in 2030.
- ETH Zurich was 7th, not 8th, in the QS World University Rankings 2026. ETH’s own news pages say it placed 7th in 2026 and moved to joint 8th only in the 2027 ranking.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_district_court
- This example is wrong: injury claims caused by federal employees are generally Federal Tort Claims Act cases, not Court of Federal Claims cases.
- The counts are too low. Federal judiciary and Senate records show more impeachments and more removals than this sentence states.
- This list is outdated or overbroad. Puerto Rico still uses a federal bar exam, but the Southern District of Ohio and Northern District of Florida now require a seminar/tutorial instead of an additional bar exam.
- This misstates the 2007 judiciary statistics. The official report said 71% of immigration cases—not 75% of all criminal cases—were filed in the five southwestern border districts.
- The count is off by one. There are 94 U.S. district courts, so if 56 are in the first group, the 'other' group can only be 38, not 39.

- McVeigh was federally indicted, but not indicted on 160 state offenses. Contemporary and later accounts say only the federal charges were brought against him; Oklahoma prosecutors said they planned possible state murder charges later.

- This overstates Yellen-era policy. The Fed ended its asset-purchase program in October 2014, raised rates starting December 16, 2015, and began balance-sheet normalization in October 2017.
- The Fed’s September 2019 repo operations were launched to keep the federal funds rate within the target range and relieve money-market strains, not as an asset-price support program.
- Quantitative tightening had already begun before Powell became Fed chair. The FOMC announced the balance-sheet normalization program in September 2017 and started it in October 2017; Powell became chair on February 5, 2018.
