en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Stryker
  • The date is wrong. Multiple title-history sources place Matt Stryker's HWA Heavyweight Championship win over Cody Hawk on September 17, 2002, not July 17, 2002.
  • This title-change description is wrong. Shawn Osborne won the HWA Heavyweight title on March 25, 2005, and Matt Stryker did not win his fourth reign until June 17, 2005.

  • Anthropic had already made public safety/governance commitments aimed at constraining itself, including its Long-Term Benefit Trust and Responsible Scaling Policy. You can argue those safeguards are insufficient, but saying there were "no attempts" is inaccurate.

  • This is incorrect: Anthropic has published official news/policy posts explicitly warning about catastrophic AI risks, including bioweapons and autonomous systems posing a major threat to society.

  • This is too absolute. Influenza infection/vaccination and many common-cold infections do generate immune protection, even though that protection can be incomplete, strain-specific, or eroded by viral evolution.
  • The UCL press release does not ignore severity and age-related vulnerability. It explicitly says infants are more vulnerable as maternal antibodies wane and mentions that nursery-acquired bugs can sometimes require hospital care.

  • This is inaccurate for the mid-1850s: the Panama Railroad was completed in January 1855 and already provided an Atlantic-Pacific crossing.

  • This quote misstates Dario Amodei’s warning. Public reporting quotes him as saying AI could eliminate about half of entry-level white-collar jobs within five years—not that it would imminently replace a majority of all white-collar workers.
  • The time frame is wrong. Reporting on Jensen Huang’s remarks says he was talking about an annual token budget worth about half an engineer’s base salary, not spending that amount every month.

  • This has the trading direction backwards. In prediction markets, traders buy when they think a contract is underpriced relative to the true probability, and sell when they think it is overpriced.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_Line_(Sound_Transit)
  • This is outdated: the bridge has already been modified for rail and 2 Line trains began carrying passengers across it on March 28, 2026.
  • This extension is no longer future work: Downtown Redmond and Marymoor Village opened on May 10, 2025, and Downtown Redmond is already the 2 Line’s terminal.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_Line_%28Sound_Transit%29
  • This service description is outdated. Sound Transit says that after the March 28, 2026 service change, 1 Line/2 Line service runs about 5 a.m. to 12 a.m. seven days a week, and 1 Line peak service is every 8 minutes, not 6.
  • This misstates who checks fares. Sound Transit says Fare Ambassadors—not transit police—are the fare-compliance staff who inspect proof of payment.
  • The contract-expiration date here is wrong. Sound Transit’s 2024 annual report says the current Link light-rail agreement with King County expires on December 31, 2025, not at the end of 2023.
  • This schedule is outdated. Sound Transit says that since the March 28, 2026 service change, 1 Line/2 Line service runs about 5 a.m. to 12 a.m. seven days a week.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_fiction#Prominent_examples
  • This entry gives the wrong publication year. J. G. Ballard’s *The Crystal World* was first published in 1966, not 1988.
  • Marcus Sedgwick was British, not American. Multiple sources identify him as a British writer.
  • Julie Bertagna is not American. Publisher and author-directory pages identify her as a Scottish author based in Glasgow.
  • Stephen Baxter is a UK author, not a U.S. one. The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction explicitly identifies him as a UK author.
  • This is outdated. Maja Lunde’s fourth Climate Quartet novel, *The Dream of a Tree*, was published in 2022.
  • This author label is wrong in two ways: the writer’s name is Maggie Gee, not “Magee Gee,” and she is British rather than American.

  • This gets the book’s original publication year wrong. The UK publisher lists the novel as going on sale on September 4, 2008; 2009 refers to a later Holiday House edition.
  • The infobox publication date is incorrect for the UK edition. Hachette Children’s UK lists the book as going on sale on September 4, 2008.

  • The revised HLE paper reports an expert disagreement rate of about 18%, not a confirmed 18% error rate.
  • This is too broad. Oganesson’s chemical and bulk physical properties have not been directly measured, but at least some properties—such as its isotope’s half-life—have been measured or estimated experimentally.

  • Jamaica became the world’s leading producer of bauxite in 1957, not aluminum. Jamaica mined bauxite and refined alumina, but official Jamaican sources say no aluminum smelters were built there.
  • The 2006 environmental decree was issued by Haiti’s transitional government before René Préval took office, not by Préval’s government.
