en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_houses_in_the_Balkans
- This is inaccurate because the Bosnian/Serbo-Croatian word “odžak” does not mean “tower.” Standard dictionary definitions give it meanings such as “chimney,” “hearth,” “household,” or a large residence.
- This overstates the gender separation. Scholarly and official Kosovo heritage sources describe family living spaces inside many kullas themselves, with men's rooms as distinct upper-floor spaces rather than the whole kulla being occupied only by men.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krvna_osveta
- This is chronologically wrong: blood revenge is attested in Serbian medieval law before Ottoman rule, including Nemanjić-era legal monuments and Dušan's Code.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albanian_blood_feud
- This sentence says there are six affected districts/counties, but it only names five. The underlying six-area study included Dibër (Dibra) in addition to Kukës, Shkodër, Lezhë, Tiranë, and Durrës.
- This is contradicted by UN human-rights reporting from 1993. Contemporary reports documented killings in Kosovo that year, including two police officers killed and several Albanians killed by police or dying in custody.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feud
- This is false as written: contemporaneous human-rights reports documented multiple killings in Kosovo in 1993, including police killings of civilians.
- The Nag Hammadi massacre did not happen at a mourning gathering; the victims were shot outside/after a Coptic Christmas Eve Mass.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichspost
- This conflates separate successor companies. In 1995 Deutsche Bundespost was split into three successors — Deutsche Post AG, Deutsche Telekom AG, and Deutsche Postbank AG — and Deutsche Telekom did not become part of Deutsche Post AG.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_event_sampling
- This date is too late. Rare-event Monte Carlo techniques were already published by Herman Kahn in 1950, and historical reviews trace the early published work to 1949–1950 rather than first appearing in 1951.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwantung_Army
- This misstates what the 1895 treaty did. The Treaty of Shimonoseki ceded the Liaodong Peninsula to Japan; the Kwantung lease was obtained later, first by Russia in 1898 and then transferred to Japan in 1905.
- This places the headquarters move too late. The Kwantung Army headquarters had already been moved to Changchun/Xinjing in 1932, when Manchukuo was established.

zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%87%8F%E5%8C%96%E5%AF%AC%E9%AC%86
- This is outdated and incorrect: the federal funds target did not stay at 0.25% indefinitely. The Fed raised it to 0.25%–0.50% in December 2015 and changed it many times afterward.
- The start date is wrong. The Fed announced QE3 on September 13, 2012, not November 2012.
- The date is incorrect. The ECB announced this package on December 3, 2015, not December 4, 2015.
- This misstates how U.S. QE worked. The Fed’s QE programs bought Treasuries, agency debt, and agency mortgage-backed securities—not debt issued by “various enterprises” in general.

- Rogers was not the only successful spark-gap station in the 1921 transatlantic amateur tests. Contemporary and ARRL historical records show that other spark-gap stations were also heard in Scotland.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_S._Rogers_III
- This misnames the body Rogers served on. Government records show he served on the federal Finance Minister’s Economic Advisory Council, while the Economic Council of Canada had already ceased operations in 1991.
- Rogers' own company biographies give different dates for his Comcast tenure. Official Rogers filings state he worked for Comcast in Philadelphia from 1993 to 1996, not 1992 to 1994.
- This board/affiliation is mislabeled. The federal Economic Council of Canada ceased in 1991; government records instead show Rogers served on the Finance Minister’s later Economic Advisory Council.
- This appears outdated. CableLabs’ current official board roster lists Tony Staffieri as the Rogers Communications director, not Edward Rogers.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers_Vacuum_Tube_Company
- In 1941, Small Electric Motors bought Rogers-Majestic's manufacturing assets, not the entire company. Rogers Majestic itself became Standard Radio Ltd. and retained the broadcasting business, including CFRB.
- The UX-226 was not marketed in September 1926. Historical sources place its public introduction/first advertising in 1927, about a year later.
- Standard Radio was formed to make Rogers batteryless radio receivers, not specifically to mass-produce the tube itself. Contemporary histories say tube manufacture was handled by Rogers Radio Ltd./the tube company.

- Rogers' own corporate materials identify Ted Rogers—not his father—as the founder of Rogers Communications.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers_Wireless
- This shutdown date is incorrect. Rogers’ own support pages after August 7, 2025 still describe HSPA+/3G service as active, and one page says a 3G-based Smart Home Monitoring feature would stop working only after September 26, 2025.
- This executive listing is out of date. Rogers’ current leadership page says Anne Martin-Vachon has served as President, Wireless since January 2025.

- This is too absolute. DDT—an organochlorine—has not disappeared from use; it is still officially produced or used in some countries for disease-vector control.
- This overstates the effect of pesticide substitution. Replacing the most lethal pesticides reduces deaths, but other pesticides can still be fatal, so switching chemicals does not guarantee survival.

coefficientgiving.substack.com/p/announcing-the-strep-a-vacc...
- This understates the number of Strep A vaccine candidates that had already reached human testing by May 2026. Primary trial records and published phase studies show more than four candidates had been tested in people.
