en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolly_Roger
- This misidentifies the privateer flag. British privateers were not required to use a Union Jack with a white crest in the middle; authorities instead prescribed a red jack/ensign with the Union in the canton, while the white-escutcheon Union Jack was used for other commissioned vessels.
- This is too categorical: emblem-bearing pirate flags were already in use in the late 17th century, not only in the 18th century.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bish%C5%8Dnen
- The term 美少年 is attested earlier than Du Fu’s poem. Dictionary and primary-text sources connect it to Liu Xiyi’s earlier Tang poem "代悲白頭翁," which contains the phrase 美少年.
- The word 美少年 predates the Meiji era by centuries. Major Japanese dictionary sources record it in 1643 and 1671, so it did not arise in Meiji Japan.
- A strict under-18 cutoff is not supported by standard scholarly and dictionary usage. Academic work on Japanese culture describes bishōnen in its literal sense as ‘any beautiful young man,’ including young men beyond childhood.
- This is outdated. Johnny & Associates was renamed SMILE-UP. in October 2023 and shifted to victim compensation, while talent management moved to the new company STARTO ENTERTAINMENT.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esh_(letter)
- Esh did not originate in the Latin language or in Serer. The letter is documented in Isaac Pitman’s English Phonotypic Alphabet in the 1840s, and the capital form Ʃ is classified by Unicode as an African-language Latin letter later used in African orthographies.

- This misidentifies the company involved. The reporting and incident disclosures say the model was from OpenAI, not Meta.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diospyros_kaki
- “Fuyu” is not a name for the whole species. It is a specific cultivar of Diospyros kaki.
- This leaf description is incorrect. Published floras describe Diospyros kaki leaves as noticeably longer than wide, not equal in length and width.

- OpenAI's published account says the incident happened during an internal cyber-capability evaluation/testing setup, not during model training. Black Hat reporting likewise says OpenAI started testing the model on May 7, while the first Artifactory vulnerability was reported as discovered on May 26.

- 把奧古斯特山断言为“世界最大的单体岩石”并不准确。地貌学与西澳官方公园资料都指出，奧古斯特山被称作“单体岩石”是常见但错误的说法，它更适合被描述为 inselberg／不对称背斜，而不是已被确认的“世界最大单体岩石”。

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakob_Fugger
- This sentence conflates different Vatican building projects and dates. The Sistine Chapel had already been built and decorated decades before 1500, and construction of the new St. Peter’s Basilica did not begin until 18 April 1506.
- The election date is wrong by a month. Charles was elected on 28 June 1519, not 28 July 1519.
- St. Anna in Augsburg did not 'become Protestant' in 1548. It had already become a center of Protestant worship in the 1520s and was officially part of Augsburg’s Reformation by 1534; in 1548 it was reopened for services.
- Jakob Fugger had no children, so he had no descendants. Reference works describe his marriage as childless and note that his holdings passed to his nephews.

- The 95.5% figure is for the easier ARC-AGI-3 Public Demo, not the full ARC-AGI-3 evaluation. ARC’s docs separate that 25-environment public demo from the 55-environment semi-private and 55-environment fully private holdout sets that define the real benchmark.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naomi_Bashkansky
- The 2024 end date is wrong. Official Harvard sources show Bashkansky was still enrolled in a concurrent computer science bachelor's/master's program in 2025.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlen_Reusser
- Reusser did not win bronze in the 2021 women's elite world time trial; she won silver, finishing second behind Ellen van Dijk.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond_Night_Market
- This is outdated. The second Richmond market on Vulcan Way did not continue operating indefinitely; it was reported permanently cancelled in 2018.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Dean
- Jeff Dean’s University of Minnesota degree was in computer science and economics, not computer science and engineering.
- Dean’s undergraduate honors thesis was on parallel training of neural networks; primary sources do not support the claim that it was about “neural networks in C programming.”

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliezer_Yudkowsky
- This is inaccurate because Yudkowsky was not the sole founder of MIRI. MIRI’s own materials describe him as a co-founder and say the organization was founded together with Brian and Sabine Atkins.
- This misstates the incident. The question was asked at a White House press briefing to Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, not directly to President Joe Biden.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_of_Alcatraz
- This is off by about a year. Reliable sources say Radio Free Alcatraz was broadcast live through September 3, 1970, and that the island’s power cutoff happened during mid-1970, not late May 1971.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcatraz_Island
- The year 1846 is impossible here. Alcatraz was not even being used as a prison until 1859, and official National Park Service timelines show its military-prison use continuing into the 20th century.
- National Park Service histories give a different first garrison: Captain Joseph Stewart and 86 men took command in 1859, not about 200 soldiers at the end of 1858.
- National Park Service histories describe pre-1853 Alcatraz as an undeveloped rock and date construction on the island to the U.S. fortifications that began in 1853, not to Spanish-built island structures.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Alcatraz_escape_attempts
- This reverses a key fact of the 1946 escape attempt. Official histories say the prisoners got weapons and cellhouse keys, but they did not have the key needed to unlock the recreation yard door.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_1962_Alcatraz_escape
- This sentence length is wrong. Official U.S. Marshals records say John Anglin received 10 years and Clarence Anglin received 15 years for the 1958 Columbia, Alabama bank robbery, not 35 years each.
- This inmate number is incorrect. National Archives records list Allen Clayton West under Alcatraz register numbers 1130 and 1335, not 1330.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elagabalus
- This misstates both Cassius Dio and the usual count of Elagabalus’s female marriages. Dio says he married 'many women,' not 'five,' and modern scholarship commonly counts four marriages to women, with Aquilia Severa as both second and fourth wife.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurelian
- These dates are off. Modern reference works place Shapur I’s death in 270 and Hormizd I’s short reign in 270–271, not 272 and 273.
- This overstates what the sources say. The main ancient source says Alexandria lost the greater part of the Bruchion district under Aurelian, not that the whole quarter was burned to the ground.
- Modern scholarship rejects the old story that Orléans was named directly after Emperor Aurelian. Reference works describe that link as an erroneous tradition.
