en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Committee_on_Foreign_Investment_in_the...
- This dates Section 721 too early. CFIUS was created by executive order in 1975, but Section 721 of the Defense Production Act was added later in 1988 by the Exon-Florio amendment.
- The original 1975 executive order named the Council on International Economic Policy, not the Council on Foreign Economic Policy.
- This overstates CFIUS filing requirements. Treasury says the process is largely voluntary, with mandatory filings only in some circumstances.
- CFIUS cannot extend the President’s 15-day review period. The law provides a 15-day extension for the investigation phase in extraordinary circumstances, not for presidential review.
- This penalty statement is outdated and too broad. Current CFIUS regulations allow penalties up to $5 million for several categories of violations, and the $250,000 cap now applies only to some older mitigation agreements/orders.
- The February 21, 2025 'America First Investment Policy' was issued as a presidential memorandum, not an executive order.
- DOJ said its February 2026 action was to enforce a presidential order, not a 'CFIUS ruling.' Under Section 721, CFIUS reviews and recommends; the President issues prohibition/divestment orders.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law
- This misdefines rational expectations. In economics, rational expectations is about how people form forecasts using available information so they are not systematically wrong, not a theory that people optimize behavior within a reward-and-punishment system.
- The cited scholar's name is wrong here. Strathern refers to Keith Hoskin, and the referenced 1996 chapter is authored by Keith Hoskin, not 'Hoskins.'

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Goodhart
- Arthur Lehman Goodhart became Oxford's Professor of Jurisprudence in 1931, not 1936.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_Reserve_Bank
- This interest-rate figure is out of date. The South African Reserve Bank's official policy rate was raised to 7% effective 29 May 2026.
- This shareholder count is outdated. The SARB says it has more than 800 shareholders today, not 696.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottis_Toole
- This misstates the 1983 arson case. Contemporary and court sources show Toole was serving a 20-year sentence for two arson convictions tied to fires in May 1983, not a single arson incident in April 1983.
- At that time, Toole was not imprisoned for two murders. Sources from 1983 say he was in custody on arson charges and awaiting trial on other charges.
- Ada Johnson is generally identified in reliable sources as 19, not 20.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_killer
- This is outdated: Harvey Miguel Robinson is not the youngest person on death row. Official current death-row rosters include multiple inmates who are younger than Robinson.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burke_and_Hare_murders
- This overstates and misdescribes the legal supply of bodies before 1832. Executed criminals—especially hanged murderers—were also a lawful source for dissection, so it was not limited to prison deaths, suicides, foundlings, and orphans.
- This description of the legal supply is wrong because it leaves out executed criminals. Before the Anatomy Act 1832, bodies of executed murderers were a lawful source for anatomical dissection in Scotland.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_E._Douglas
- UVA’s official Thomas Jefferson Awards records do not list John E. Douglas as a recipient, and the awards are reserved for long-serving UVA faculty or staff.
- The FBI says the unit later called the BAU was the Behavioral Science Unit, not Douglas’s criminal profiling program.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidnapping
- This sentence inaccurately merges several different Pakistan Penal Code offenses and penalties into one rule. Pakistan law sets different punishments for kidnapping related to murder, grievous hurt/slavery, or lust, and some of those offenses can carry death or longer prison terms.
- This is wrong under the current Canadian Criminal Code. Kidnapping is indictable only and punishable by life imprisonment; the summary-conviction option applies to forcible confinement, not kidnapping.
- This misstates the Dutch statute. Article 282 covers unlawful deprivation of liberty, while hostage-taking (gijzeling) is addressed separately in Article 282a.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TSMC
- The London Stock Exchange code is mistyped. TSMC’s LSE instrument code is 0LCV (zero), not OLCV (letter O).
- These ownership percentages are incorrect. TSMC’s official announcements show JASM did not launch as a 70/20/10 venture, and its later disclosed ownership was about 86.5% TSMC, 6.0% Sony, 5.5% Denso, and 2.0% Toyota.
- TSMC’s current renewable-energy target is earlier than that. Its 2025 annual report says the company aims for 100% renewable energy by 2040, while net-zero remains a 2050 goal.
- TSMC’s 2025 net income figure is slightly off. The company’s 2025 annual report gives US$55.21 billion, not US$55.13 billion.
- TSMC’s own 2025 report gives an earlier timeline. It says the second Arizona fab is expected to enter high-volume manufacturing in the second half of 2027, not 2028.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Chang
- The retirement was announced in October 2017, not on June 5, 2018. June 2018 was the planned effective retirement date after TSMC’s annual shareholders’ meeting.
- These dates do not add up. Morris Chang was born in 1931, and a later account based on his autobiography says he married his first wife at age 22, which would place the marriage in 1953 or 1954, not 1952.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che-Chia_Wei
- TSMC’s current official disclosures identify C.C. Wei as Chairman and CEO, not President. “President and Co-CEO” is listed only as one of his past roles from 2013 to 2018.
- The company name is wrong. TSMC’s official materials identify Wei’s former employer as Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd., not “Charter Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.”
- TSMC’s current official disclosures list C.C. Wei as Chairman and CEO, not President. “President” is a past title from 2013 to 2018.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wangdue_Phodrang_Dzong
- The fire is not known to have been definitively caused by a short circuit. A restoration case study says the cause remains uncertain and that an electrical short circuit is only a speculation.
- The reconstructed dzong has 21 lhakhangs, not 14. Project officials said during reconstruction that there were 21 lhakhangs inside the dzong.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_(hacker_group)
- This sentence conflates two different incidents. Edalat-e Ali’s prison CCTV leak was in August 2021, while its hack of Iranian state TV happened on October 8, 2022—not September 23, 2022.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alibaba_Group
- In 2012 Alibaba did not buy out all of Yahoo!'s 40% stake. The deal repurchased about 20% of Alibaba, and Yahoo still held roughly 24% afterward.
- Reuters did not report that Alibaba sold off Cainiao for $8.5 billion. In March 2024 Alibaba said the opposite: it withdrew Cainiao's IPO and offered to buy the remaining shares it did not already own.
- Daniel Zhang is no longer Alibaba's CEO. Alibaba announced in June 2023 that Eddie Wu would succeed him as CEO, effective September 10, 2023.
- Alibaba's IPO initially raised about US$21.8 billion, not US$25 billion. The roughly US$25 billion figure was only reached later after underwriters exercised the greenshoe option.
- Alibaba.com was taken private in 2012, not 2014. Contemporary reports and Alibaba's later SEC filing say the privatization took effect in June 2012.
- SoftBank's disclosed Alibaba stake was far smaller than 14%. Its SEC ownership filings showed about 5.0% in February 2024 and 3.3% in May 2025.
