en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance_fair
- This sentence misdates and mislocates the original fair. Credible histories say the first Renaissance Pleasure Faire was held on May 11–12, 1963 at Haskell's Rascals Ranch in North Hollywood; Paramount Ranch became its home later, in 1965.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathon_(disambiguation)#Video_games
- The rapper’s name is misspelled here. The mixtape was released by Nipsey Hussle, not “Nispey Hussle.”
- This mixes up two different eras of dance marathons. The 1920s–1930s phenomenon was an endurance contest for audiences and prize money; charitable dance marathons were revived later, especially from the 1970s onward.

- The $58 million figure is the film’s worldwide gross, not its international gross.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iranian_supreme_leader_election
- Iran’s interim leadership body was a three-member council, not a four-member one. Credible reports say it included the president, the chief justice, and Alireza Arafi — not parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
- This is wrong about Iran’s succession mechanism. After Khamenei’s death, interim authority went to a three-member council under Article 111 — not to Ali Larijani as SNSC secretary or acting supreme leader.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumbo
- The date is wrong: TIME says the Dumbo “Mammal-of-the-Year” story was scheduled for December 29, 1941, not December 8, 1941.
- Listing “Disneyland” as the label for a 1941 Dumbo soundtrack release is anachronistic. Disneyland Records was created in 1956; the original 1941 Dumbo soundtrack was released by RCA Victor.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Health
- David Feinberg is not Oracle Health’s current president and CEO. Oracle’s own biography says he is Chairman of Oracle Health, and that president/CEO was his previous role.
- Oracle’s 9.5 million figure refers to Department of Defense beneficiaries served by one EHR deployment, not Oracle Health’s customer count. Oracle separately says it has more than 1,000 Oracle Health EHR customers.
- Oracle Health is not currently traded under the CERN ticker. Cerner’s shares were suspended and delisted from Nasdaq when Oracle completed the acquisition in June 2022.

- In this context, the formula is misidentified. ¬¬P ⇒ P is double-negation elimination (a classical proof-by-contradiction principle), not the principle of non-contradiction.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_rule
- The timing is off: Euler’s analysis books were published in 1748, 1755, and completed in 1770, while Leibniz had discovered the rule for a “function of a function” by 1677. That makes them roughly 71–93 years later, not more than 100 years later.

- The famous 'Salary Grab' was enacted in 1873, not 1872.
- UT Austin did not officially record an A+ here. Its official grade scale has no A+, and reporting on the case says Gregory Watson’s grade was formally changed from C to A.

- Ohio was not the 9th state to ratify the congressional-pay amendment; it was the 8th.

- OpenAI did publish a GPT-5.2 system-card update on December 11, 2025, the same day GPT-5.2 Pro rolled out. It may be fair to say the card lacked Pro-specific detail, but saying GPT-5.2 Pro was released ‘without a system card’ is too strong.
