  • This officeholder is out of date.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.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_card
  • 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  • The dollar thresholds here are outdated and wrong.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.

  • That is not how green-card status is formally ended. USCIS says lawful permanent residence is lost through USCIS rescission proceedings or a final removal order from an immigration judge, not by the State Department simply revoking a green card.

  • The unit here is off by a factor of a billion: published estimates put GPT-3’s training electricity use at about 1,287 megawatt-hours, not 1.3 milliwatt-hours.
  • This is false: there were multiple later inquiries and formal reconsiderations of Lewis’s death, including a National Park Service hearing and later exhumation requests reviewed by the government.

  • This overstates the rule. The relevant German law applies to male German citizens subject to conscription, not to "all men" in Germany.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Godfather_(novel)
  • This overstates the novel’s role. Several of these Mafia terms were already in documented English-language use years before The Godfather was published in 1969.
  • This is too broad. The Michael Corleone storyline overlaps the novel’s 1955–1962 period, but Part II also includes Vito Corleone’s early-life story in Sicily and New York decades earlier.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Evans
  • Evans did not plead guilty to cocaine trafficking. Contemporary coverage says he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor cocaine possession charge.
  • The 1980 conviction was for misdemeanor cocaine possession, not trafficking. Multiple news reports describe the offense as possession after a plea bargain.
  • This is outdated: the stage production did move forward. Smuggler says it premiered in 2017 at London’s Royal Court, and Time Out reviewed that 2017 production.
  • The listed publication date is wrong. Book metadata from Apple Books and Kirkus Reviews gives the release date as November 12, 2013, not November 22.

  • AFI's "100 Years...100 Movie Quotes" list is from 2005, not 2014. The quote is ranked #2 on that AFI list, but attaching the year 2014 to that ranking is incorrect.
  • The NBC debut date here is wrong. Credible film references list the first broadcast of The Godfather Saga as beginning on November 12, 1977, not November 18.

  • The executive producer’s surname is misspelled here. Credible sources list him as Christopher Tricarico, not Christopher Tricario.
  • Amazon did not originally greenlight the series in the U.S.; Channel 4 commissioned it, and Amazon later acquired U.S. rights.
  • Amazon’s own announcement said the season was available in the U.S. and only in select territories globally, not worldwide.

  • KONY 2012 was not the first YouTube video to hit 1 million likes. LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" had already passed 1,000,000 likes in November 2011, months before KONY 2012 was uploaded.
  • The featured Ugandan in KONY 2012 is Jacob Acaye, not "Jacob Avaye." Multiple sources, including Invisible Children and The Guardian, identify him as Jacob Acaye.

  • The LRA’s UN listing was made by a UN Security Council sanctions committee in March 2016, not by UN peacekeepers.
  • The ICC publicly unsealed the five LRA arrest warrants in October 2005, not October 2006.
  • The ICC did not charge the five LRA commanders in 2004; the warrants were issued in 2005.

  • Mike Krieger is no longer Anthropic’s Chief Product Officer. Anthropic said in January 2026 that he moved to Labs, and Ami Vora took over the product organization.
  • This job title is outdated. Anthropic announced in January 2026 that Mike Krieger moved to Labs and that Ami Vora would lead the product organization.
  • Jack Clark is not Anthropic’s head of policy anymore. Anthropic announced in March 2026 that he became Head of Public Benefit, while Sarah Heck became Head of Public Policy.

  • This overstates and misstates both companies’ intern moves. Cloudflare said it aims to hire 1,111 interns over 2026, and Shopify’s publicly quoted reason for 1,000 interns was that new grads are more AI-native—not that ramp-up fell from a month to a week.

  • New York bill S7263 is not written as a ban on AI based on medical-exam scores. Its official summary says it imposes liability for chatbot impersonation/unauthorized practice by licensed professionals.
  • The 92% figure is being overstated. The Legal Services Corporation says 92% applies to problems that substantially impacted low-income Americans' lives, and means they received no help or not enough help—not that all legal problems went completely unaddressed.

  • 这句话把印度的保留制度说错了：印度并没有在国会“两院”都保留种姓席位，而且“27%”也不是给“低种姓人和贱民”整体的统一配额。
  • 这句话过头了。印度政府今天仍然签发并使用正式的种姓证明与种姓分类名单，因此不能说“完全没有任何关于种姓的记载”。
  • 印度法律禁止的是“不可接触制”和基于种姓的歧视，不是把所有种姓分类本身都定为非法。
