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- This list is outdated or overbroad.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.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_McVeigh
- 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.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenspan_put
- 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.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Greenspan
- Greenspan’s fifth term was not unprecedented. William McChesney Martin had already been appointed to a fifth four-year term as Fed chair in 1967.
- January 31, 2006 was not the scheduled end of Greenspan’s fifth chairmanship term. His fifth four-year term as chair began on June 20, 2004; January 31, 2006 was the end of his separate Board membership term.
- The Fed had already cut the federal funds target to 1.00% in June 2003, not 2004. In 2004 it began raising rates, moving the target up to 1.25% on June 30, 2004.

- This substantially understates how common routine checkups are in the U.S. CDC data says roughly three-quarters of adults had a routine checkup in the past year, not "about half."

- The index does not consist of 153 distinct forecast questions. Metaculus’s own description says the Democracy Threat Index consists of 39 questions, while the larger top-line count includes backfilled entries for prior periods.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_VIII
- This overstates the position. The Irish Free State, then still a Dominion, was explicitly excluded from the British abdication legislation and dealt with the abdication through its own legislation on 11–12 December 1936.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_(Animal_Farm)
- Benjamin is not described as female in the 2025/2026 film adaptation. A Motion Picture Association interview about the film explicitly identifies Benjamin as a male role voiced by Kathleen Turner.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_Dynamite
- This anniversary reference is wrong: the 2024 Sundance Film Festival was the festival’s 40th edition, while 20 years referred to the film’s own anniversary.
- The dollar figure is wrong. Major box-office databases list the film’s domestic total as $44,540,956, not $44,940,956.
Wikipedia Jun 27, 2026 at 04:50 PM
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-letter_acronym
- This date is too late. Peer-reviewed literature traces biological-science use of three-letter-acronym nomenclature to 1973, not 1977.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_car
- Klein Vision’s AirCar was issued a Certificate of Airworthiness in January 2022, not a type certificate.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrigley_Company

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renate_von_Brause
- RWTH’s own personnel directories list Renate von Brause as an apl. Professor with the date 28 June 1971, not 1969.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shameless_(American_TV_series)
- This mixes up the 2021 series finale with the season 1 finale. The series finale "Father Frank, Full of Grace" aired on April 11, 2021, and its linear telecast drew about 695,000 viewers, not 1.157 million.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studentenstadt_Freimann
- Die heutige Linienübersicht der Haltestelle Studentenstadt führt die Buslinie 143 nicht mehr auf. Die offizielle MVG-Haltestellenübersicht nennt stattdessen 50, X35, X36, 177, 181, 231, 233 und N40.
- Die Altstadt entstand nicht vollständig im ersten Bauabschnitt. Offizielle Darstellungen datieren die Altstadt auf 1961–1968, und nennen Häuser 7 und 8 ausdrücklich als Teil des zweiten Bauabschnitts 1966–1968.
- Diese Zahl ist überholt. Offizielle Angaben des Studierendenwerks belegen inzwischen deutlich mehr als 1.000 verfügbare bzw. erhaltene Wohnplätze, darunter 246 Plätze im 2023 wiedereröffneten Sophie-Scholl-Haus sowie zahlreiche weiter bewohnte Altstadt-Häuser.
- Der Name ist veraltet: Das frühere „Blaue Haus“ wurde 2023 offiziell in „Sophie-Scholl Haus“ umbenannt.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Island_(2015_TV_series)

- This absolute claim is incorrect. Multiple primary studies have identified GLP-1 receptors on immune cells, including gut intraepithelial lymphocytes and subsets of T cells, including human activated CD4+ T cells.
- This blanket claim is too strong. Naltrexone has been shown in controlled human studies to reduce normal social reward, including feelings of social connection, warmth, and liking toward close others and positive social stimuli.

thezvi.substack.com/p/rtmh-pope-leos-magnifica-humanitas
- This overstates and misstates paragraph 120. The encyclical says it is right to alleviate suffering; it argues against denying or trying to eliminate suffering entirely, not against addressing suffering or its causes.
