en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine_and_electronic_warfare
- This date is off by one year. The missile attack described here happened on January 13, 2024, not January 13, 2023.
- The arithmetic is wrong. 7,916 drones over July 18–24, 2024 works out to about 1,131 per day and 47 per hour, not 1,979 and 82.
- This misstates who led the coalition at launch. Ukraine's Defense Ministry said Germany led the EW coalition, while Sweden officially joined it later in June 2025.

- The Hårby figurine was found in late 2012, not 2013, and the National Museum says it was discovered by detectorist Morten Skovsby, who was accompanied by three amateur archaeologists—not found by three people.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorandum_of_conversation
- This sentence appears to confuse a memorandum of understanding with a conversation record. In federal usage, an MOU is an agreement between parties or agencies, not a document for memorializing conversations.

- The U.S. does not have official military bases in Taiwan. Washington has maintained only unofficial relations with Taiwan since 1979, and U.S. troops have not been permanently based there since then.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-Zenith_Satellite_System
- This mixes up QZS-6 and QZS-5. QZS-6 launched successfully on February 2, 2025 and entered service later that year; the satellite lost on December 22, 2025 was QZS-5.
- This is outdated. JAXA records show a later QZSS launch on December 22, 2025, when QZS-5 was launched aboard H3 F8.
- This undercounts the number of QZSS launches. By JAXA's records, there had been seven QZSS launches by December 22, 2025.
- This is false. Q-ANPI is clearly listed on the official QZSS website in 2026, including dedicated overview and technical-information pages.

- This overstates the failure. ISRO says NVS-02 was successfully injected into an elliptical transfer orbit; the failure was that it could not raise itself from that transfer orbit to its intended circular orbit.
- ISRO's official NavIC description gives the three GEO longitudes as 32.5°E, 83°E, and 129.5°E — not 131.5°E.
- ISRO says NavIC is not limited to military use: it offers an open Standard Position Service for civilian users and supports many civilian applications via free-to-air signals.

- This gets the physics backward. Kinetic energy depends on an object's mass and velocity, not its boiling point; tungsten's very high melting temperature mainly helps it survive reentry heating.
- This mixes up passenger and freighter specifications. A 737-800 with passenger seating does not have 184 m³/24,000 kg cargo capacity; those figures are for the converted freighter version, which has no passenger seats.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blackstone_Hotel
- The Chicago designation date is wrong. The City of Chicago lists the Blackstone Hotel’s landmark designation date as April 29, 1998, not May 29, 1998.
- This sentence misstates both the timing and the agency involved. Contemporaneous reporting says the Blackstone was shuttered in 1999 after city inspectors found serious safety/code problems, not in 2000 after an OSHA building inspection.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_Busch
- Busch did not begin his NASCAR career in 2003. He made his NASCAR national-series debut in the Craftsman Truck Series in 2001.
- The span is overstated. Busch's Truck Series starts covered 24 seasons with starts, not 29 years.
- Busch won 69 Truck Series races, so his best finish was 1st, not 14th.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Aldean
- This album count is out of date. Jason Aldean’s official site says 2026’s Songs About Us is his 12th studio album, so he has released at least 12 albums, not 11.
- This is outdated. Songs About Us was released on April 24, 2026 and Jason Aldean’s official site says it is already out now.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Paddock
- Official timelines do not support this. Paddock had stopped firing and apparently killed himself around 10:15 p.m., while the first SWAT officers did not reach the 32nd floor until 10:55 p.m.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imaginary_friend
- This badly misstates the paper's findings. Study 1 examined age-group differences in self-talk, while only-child status and imaginary-companion status were tested in separate studies; the paper did not report a Study 1 finding about social development.
- This is flatly contradicted by the research literature. There are peer-reviewed studies specifically devoted to imaginary companions in adolescence and middle school.

- This overstates and misidentifies the privacy law. School-held records like these were generally governed by FERPA, not HIPAA, and FERPA allows schools to send education records to another school where a student seeks or intends to enroll without the student's consent.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucinda_Roy
- Virginia Tech no longer lists Lucinda Roy as the current creative-writing director. Its official pages identify her as an emerita alumni distinguished professor, while current creative-writing contacts/directors are other faculty members.
- AWP’s current official board page does not list Lucinda Roy as an officer or board member. The organization’s current vice-chair offices are held by other people.
- Lucinda Roy has published more than two novels. Official current sources list at least four: Lady Moses, The Hotel Alleluia, The Freedom Race, and Flying the Coop.
- The book’s title is generally listed as *The Humming Birds*, not *The Hummingbirds*. Official/current bibliographic sources use the two-word title.
- This is not the book’s full title. Official sources list it as *No Right to Remain Silent: What We’ve Learned from the Tragedy at Virginia Tech*.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Tech_shooting
- The NICS Improvement Amendments Act was not signed on January 5, 2008. Official federal records show President George W. Bush signed H.R. 2640 on January 8, 2008.
- The first 911 call came in at 9:41 a.m., not 9:42. The 9:42 time is when the first call reached Virginia Tech Police after being transferred.
- This repeats the same date error later in the article. H.R. 2640 was signed on January 8, 2008, not January 5.
- This is too broad. Licensed dealers may sell rifles and shotguns to out-of-state residents if the sale complies with federal and state law; only some firearm sales are limited to in-state residents.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Tucci
- This misstates the category of Tucci’s Golden Globe for Conspiracy. He won in the supporting-actor television category, not best actor in a miniseries/TV film.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoo_Young-chul
- This case did not establish cannibalism as a criminal charge. Contemporary reports say prosecutors indicted Yoo for murder-related offenses and said they had not secured evidence proving cannibalism.
- The Imun-dong count was not dismissed because authorities had already determined Jeong Nam-gyu committed it. In 2004 the court threw that charge out for lack of evidence, and Jeong Nam-gyu's confession to that killing came later.
- Contemporary reporting says massage-parlor employees—not police—caught Yoo first. A police officer arrived afterward and handcuffed him.

- This is inaccurate because the European Union’s current terrorist list does not include Kach. Official EU lists from 2025 and 2026 enumerate the listed groups, and Kach is not among them.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woo_Bum-kon_incident
- Police had already been alerted and deployed officers before Woo died, so saying he killed himself "before a police response" is incorrect.
- Multiple sources place Woo's final grenade explosion around 5:30–5:35 a.m., not 3:40 a.m.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Lanza
- The divorce year is wrong. Connecticut's Office of the Child Advocate says Adam Lanza's parents separated in 2002 and did not divorce until 2009.
- The age is off by a year. Official records say Lanza was born on April 22, 1992 and graduated early on June 26, 2009, which means he was 17, not 16.
- This is contradicted by the official Connecticut report. It documents Yale meetings with Lanza through February 2007 and community-psychiatrist billing records extending into 2008.
