- This is overstated: the n-groupoid homotopy hypothesis has already been proved for some standard weak n-groupoid models, such as Tamsamani's.

- Official HLE sources say the benchmark’s 2,500 questions came from nearly 1,000 contributors, not over 1,000.

- That is not true of both versions. The article itself later reproduces Hu Mingfu’s 1916 draft, which contains characters such as 似 and 設/设 whose standard Mandarin readings are sì and shè, not shi.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOS
- FreeDOS’s own history says the project officially started on June 29, 1994, not June 26, and describes the trigger as Microsoft saying a future Windows would replace DOS—not a same-day announcement ending MS-DOS sales or support.

- Omitting only the relative pronoun does not create a reduced relative clause. It creates a zero-relative/contact clause; reduced relatives are typically non-finite or verbless and omit more than just the pronoun.

- This overstates what the underlying list shows. The cited Top 500 list still classifies all 500 entries as open, open with only subcases solved, disputed, under review, or on conditional hold—not as 90 solved problems.
- Hilbert's Tenth Problem over Q is not solved. Current status pages describe it as an open problem and say the purported route still leaves decisive steps unproved.
- BPL = L is still listed as open. The current Top 500 status page explicitly marks this derandomization question as unresolved.

- That incubation window is wrong for pneumonic plague. Authoritative public-health sources say pneumonic plague usually develops much faster—typically about 1 to 3 or 1 to 4 days after exposure, and sometimes within 24 hours.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepeta
- The publication year is wrong. Kew records Cataria Adans. as first published in 1763, not 1793.
- This is not currently an accepted Nepeta species in Kew’s checklist. POWO treats Nepeta sulphurea as a synonym of Nepeta nuda subsp. nuda.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Leo_XIV
- The Vatican’s own index of Leo XIV’s apostolic letters dates this motu proprio to November 19, 2025, not November 21, 2025.
- The official Vatican itinerary shows Leo XIV’s Monaco trip took place on March 28, 2026, not January 17, 2026.
- Leo XIV did not take up residence in the Apostolic Palace at the start of his pontificate; the Vatican said he moved there on March 14, 2026 after living at the Palazzo del Sant’Uffizio.
- The Vatican’s 1996 test for lay excommunication is not based only on exclusive attendance at SSPX liturgies; it requires formal adherence to the schism, including an internal choice against obedience to the Pope.

- OpenAI’s GPT‑6 Astra launch did not report a 100% score on ExploitGym. It reported 42.4% on ExploitGym; the 100% score was on a different benchmark, ExploitBench.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QS_World_University_Rankings
- This weighting is outdated. QS’s current official World University Rankings methodology assigns Academic Reputation 30% of the overall score, not 40%.
- This percentage is no longer correct. QS’s current methodology gives Faculty/Student Ratio a 10% weighting, not 15%.
- This is outdated. QS’s current methodology allocates 15% to global engagement, not 10%, because it now includes International Research Network alongside international faculty and student ratios.
- This is no longer accurate. QS’s current Best Student Cities methodology uses six key categories, not five.
- The current QS MBA methodology is not based on six indicators. QS’s official methodology now describes five main lenses/categories.

pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petr%C3%B3polis
- To anachronism: the OAS did not yet exist in August 1947. Petrópolis hosted the Inter-American Conference for the Maintenance of Continental Peace and Security; the OAS was created later, in 1948.
- This mayor field is outdated. Petrópolis's own municipal government pages identify Hingo Hammes as prefeito, and city news from November 2024 refers to Rubens Bomtempo as the outgoing mayor and Hingo Hammes as prefeito eleito.
- This area figure is incorrect. The Brazilian statistical agency IBGE lists Petrópolis's territorial area as 791.144 km².
- The treaty was not signed at Palácio Rio Negro. Official museum records place the signing of the Treaty of Petrópolis at the residence of the Baron of Rio Branco on Rua Westphalia.

- The public Microsoft page for GPT-6.1 Sol does not actually confirm a "looped transformer" architecture. It gives a product description, while OpenAI’s own public GPT-6.1 Sol documentation also avoids making that architecture claim.

- The 1998–1999 Malaysia/Singapore outbreak was linked to direct exposure to infected pigs, not to people being infected by eating pork.
- This death toll is far too low. WHO data available in 2018 already listed well over 350 Nipah deaths from outbreaks through 2015.

- This overstates the size of the January 2026 West Bengal outbreak. WHO and UN/WHO reporting said India had confirmed two Nipah cases in West Bengal, not five, and no additional cases had been detected as of late January 2026.
