- This is wrong for Australia. Australian law does not classify these substances as "Class B" drugs: GHB is in Schedule 9 of the Poisons Standard, GBL was left unscheduled under that standard, and 1,4-butanediol became a border controlled drug in 2024.

- This mixes up two different parts of the eye. The normal blind spot is at the optic disc, not the fovea; dim stars disappear in direct gaze because the fovea lacks rods, which are needed for low-light vision.

- The total proper motion is miscalculated. Using the listed RA and Dec components gives about 0.976 arcsec/yr, not 0.962.
- This radial-velocity value is too low. Modern cataloged values are about +16.4 km/s, not +15.5 km/s.

- This is incorrect. The cited 2013 Cochrane review is a systematic review that also includes meta-analyses; its abstract explicitly says "The meta-analyses revealed..."
- This is biochemically incorrect. Many peptidases/proteases function best at neutral or alkaline pH, and sodium hydroxide is also commonly used in drug formulations simply for pH adjustment.

- The Federal Analogue Act is narrower than this. It applies only to certain substances substantially similar to Schedule I or II drugs and, under 21 U.S.C. § 813, only to the extent they are intended for human consumption.
- Phenylalanine is not an alkaloid. It is an amino acid; theobromine is an alkaloid, and chocolate also contains compounds such as caffeine and phenethylamine.
- For MAOI interactions, the relevant dietary chemical is tyramine, not tyrosine. Cheese, wine, and similar foods are restricted because aging or fermentation can produce tyramine from tyrosine.

- This officeholder is out of date. Sam Hou Fai became Macau’s Chief Executive on December 20, 2024, succeeding Ho Iat-seng.
- This is no longer correct. The former academy was converted to China People’s Police University in 2018, and its graduates are trained for public-security and immigration services, not commissioned into the PAP as officers.
- This reflects the academy’s old status, not its current one. The former PAP academy was reorganized as China People’s Police University in 2018 and is now led as a Ministry of Public Security university, not as a PAP command headed by a major general superintendent.
- This vice-chair seat is not vacant. Zhang Shengmin was appointed a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission in October 2025.

- This is not a list of "all" such personnel. The page itself is marked incomplete, and it omits at least one well-documented PAP line-of-duty death: PAP Jiangmen detachment deputy political commissar Shao Rongyan, who died during flood-rescue operations in 1999.
- The surname is mistransliterated. Chinese sources identify this soldier as 李彬, which is romanized as Li Bin, not Lin Bin.

- The cited IBO material does not show that about 60% of NYC homeless spending is overhead. In the IBO report often cited for shelter costs, the table explicitly excludes overhead/administrative costs, and official NYC budget tables show administrative/support spending is far below 60%.

- The $81,705 figure comes from New York State’s report on services for NYC’s unsheltered (street-homeless) population, not all homeless New Yorkers. The report’s denominator is about 4,504 unsheltered people, while NYC’s total homeless population is about 140,000.

- This is incorrect: the V visa category still exists in U.S. law for a narrow set of applicants, even though embassies have not issued V visas in recent years.
- This overstates the rule. A child under 18 does not automatically become a U.S. citizen merely because one parent is a U.S. citizen.
- This is incorrect. For a sibling petition, U.S. immigration law does not require the petitioner and beneficiary to have the same two parents.
- This is too broad. U.S. immigration law has other important exceptions besides immediate relatives of U.S. citizens.
- Official guidance said the State Department paused diversity-visa issuances, not that the entire DV lottery program was suspended.
- The dollar thresholds here are outdated and wrong. IRS guidance shows much higher current inflation-adjusted amounts.
- This is incorrect. Some intending immigrants are exempt from the Form I-864 affidavit-of-support requirement.
- This is overstated. The legal carry requirement applies to permanent residents age 18 or older, not to every green-card holder regardless of age.
