en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_War
- Heinrich Schliemann was not the first person to identify or investigate Hisarlık as Troy. Frank Calvert had already identified and excavated the site before Schliemann, and earlier writers had suggested Hisarlık as Troy as well.
- Memnon was not Priam's stepbrother. In the usual genealogy, Memnon is Priam's nephew because Memnon's father Tithonus is Priam's brother.
- Assuwa does not belong to the post-Kadesh, Tudhaliya IV period. Standard chronologies place the Assuwa confederation and its defeat under Tudhaliya I/II around 1400–1430 BC, centuries earlier.

- Prigozhin’s 20,000 figure was about Wagner PMC losses in Bakhmut, not total Russian losses there.

- Batryn was not convicted of murder. Official reporting says he was convicted of a terrorist act causing deaths and illegal handling of explosive devices.
- Reports indicate the livestream came from the town council's own social-media broadcast; police later released or reposted the footage.

- This caption mixes up city-population and metropolitan-population rankings. Authoritative sources describe Greater Tokyo as the world's largest metropolitan area, not the third-largest.

- Google Scholar is not a complete index of all scientific literature. Google itself says coverage is not guaranteed and some content may be excluded, and research has found important literature that Google Scholar misses.

- The new paper does not vindicate this claim. It presents the idea as a Gromov aphorism about finitely generated groups and explicitly critiques it by discussing counterexamples.

- This misattributes the phrase “plausible nonsense” to Ciaran Martin and overstates his position. Martin publicly said that phrase was not his, was about LLM hallucinations in context, and was not introduced as “All AI is”.

- Das war nicht der Beginn solcher Angriffe. Ein Rozetka-Lager in Kyjiw wurde bereits am 21. März 2024 bei einem russischen Raketenangriff beschädigt, und am 15. Juni 2026 wurde zudem eine Rozetka-Filiale in Kyjiw zerstört.

- This is outdated: recent literature already recognized five named Nectonema species, and a 2026 paper described an additional new species.
- The marine species count is outdated: peer-reviewed sources recognize five named Nectonema species, and a 2026 paper added another species.
- This is no longer correct: Nectonema has also been reported from isopod crustaceans, not only decapods.
- Current evidence does not support true human infection by horsehair worms; reported human encounters are generally considered accidental pseudoparasitism.
- This is outdated: a 2006 study reported a Nematomorpha fossil from Early Cretaceous Burmese amber about 100 million years old.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nematomorpha
- Horsehair worms are not known to parasitize vertebrates. Reports from humans or pets are treated as accidental encounters or pseudoparasitism, not true infection.
- This species count is out of date. A sixth marine Nectonema species, Nectonema shimadai, was described in 2026.
- The gordiid/freshwater side of Nematomorpha has more than 350 described species, not about 320.

- OpenAI’s own release does not say Astra fully solved 10 open problems. It describes the work as "ten advances" and says several items are new bounds or hardness results rather than complete solutions to the broader problems.

- 甲苯不是让油脂与水“混溶”的合适例子。权威资料显示甲苯与水彼此仅微溶；乳化剂通常只是帮助形成乳液，而不是让两者真正按任意比例互溶。

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscibility
- This is incorrect because immiscible metals can still form alloys; they usually form multiphase or phase-separated alloys rather than a single homogeneous solid solution.
- This is incorrect for silver: silver and lead do form a single liquid alloy phase, and the Parkes process works because silver is more soluble in zinc than in lead, not because silver is immiscible with molten lead.
- This overstates the product of the Parkes process. After zinc is distilled off, the remaining retort metal still contains lead and other metals and is normally sent to cupellation for further refining.

es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscibilidad
- Esto es demasiado absoluto: en ciencia de materiales sí existen "aleaciones inmiscibles". Lo correcto es que esos sistemas tienden a separarse en fases o no forman una sola solución homogénea en equilibrio, no que no puedan formar aleaciones en absoluto.

- 这句话把卫、藏两地的形成和统治历史说反了。卫、藏作为地区早在吐蕃帝国时期就已存在，而格鲁派直到15世纪才形成；此外，近代以前与卫对峙的后藏政权主要与噶举派相关，并非简单由萨迦派统治。

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence_Tao
- This age is off by one year. Tao’s own CV lists his birth date as July 17, 1975 and his Princeton Ph.D. date as June 1996, meaning he received the Ph.D. at age 20, not 21.
- This combines two different ages incorrectly. Tao earned his bachelor’s degree in December 1991 at age 16, but his master’s degree was awarded in August 1992, when he was 17.
- The year is wrong. Princeton lists Terence Tao as the James Madison Medal recipient for 2026, not 2025.

- That timing is overstated. The OpenAI/Hugging Face incident was disclosed as having been detected within days, not weeks, even though Anthropic later found older April incidents in its own review.
