  • The official who gave this account was Assistant Chief Tyrone Davis, not “Daniel Harris.” Seattle’s press conference transcript and command-staff page identify Tyrone Davis as the speaker.
  • Seattle police identified the unit on this case as the Gun Violence Reduction Unit, not a “Gun Prevention Unit.”

  • This is off by two years: Pergamon Press was sold in March 1991, not 1989.
  • She was arrested in New Hampshire, but the charges were brought in Manhattan federal court by the Southern District of New York.
  • This date is wrong: The European was launched in May 1990, not in 1988.
  • The year in parentheses is wrong: Robert Maxwell was born on June 10, 1923, not in 1919.
  • The timeline is backwards: Maxwell had already agreed to buy the New York Daily News before he sold Pergamon Press.

  • The committee was not called the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability in July 2025. Official House documents for Maxwell’s subpoena identify it as the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

  • This character name is misspelled. Multiple film credit databases list Betsy Aidem's role as “Vogler's Secretary,” not “Vogier's Secretary.”

  • Paul Cuffe’s settlement voyage was to Sierra Leone, not Liberia, and it happened in 1815/1816 rather than by 1811.
  • That date is wrong: Haiti declared independence on January 1, 1804. November 18, 1803 was the Battle of Vertières, the decisive victory that preceded independence.
  • That is false: the 1850 census still recorded enslaved people in at least one free state, New Jersey.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadir_of_American_race_relations
  • This is incorrect: Black jockeys were still riding in the Kentucky Derby after 1911. Jess Conley rode in the 1911 Derby, and Henry King rode in 1921; Jimmy Winkfield was the last Black jockey to win the Derby in 1902, not the last to participate.
  • This is inaccurate because the Philadelphia race riot referenced here occurred in July 1918, not 1917. The 1917 incidents in this context were Houston and East St. Louis; Philadelphia belongs to a later year.
  • The Louisiana date is wrong. Mississippi adopted its disfranchising constitution in 1890, but Louisiana's notorious disfranchising constitution was adopted in 1898, not 1895.

  • This misclassifies ReFT. ReFT is itself a parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) method; it differs from other PEFT methods by editing representations rather than weights.

  • This misdescribes Roosevelt's order. Executive Order 8802 addressed discrimination in defense-industry and government employment, while military desegregation came later under Truman's Executive Order 9981 in 1948.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_St._Louis_massacre
  • This date is wrong: Marcus Garvey founded the UNIA in Jamaica in 1914, not 1916.
  • Both figures here are too high. A peer-reviewed history puts East St. Louis's Black population in July 1917 at at most about 13,000, and an official 1917 Census Bureau table estimates the city's total population at 74,708.

  • This July 28 anniversary entry is wrong: German writer Martin Walser died on July 26, 2023, not July 28, 2023.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lachlan_Murdoch
  • This gets Lachlan Murdoch’s Fox title wrong. Fox’s own materials say Rupert Murdoch was Chair of Fox Corporation from March 2019 to November 2023, while Lachlan Murdoch served as Executive Chair and CEO.
  • Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch were not named defendants in Dominion’s $1.6 billion case. The Delaware court opinions show the defendants were Fox News Network LLC and, in a separate related action, Fox Corporation and Fox Broadcasting Company LLC.
  • Fox Corp’s headquarters are not in Los Angeles. Fox’s SEC filings say its principal executive offices are at 1211 Avenue of the Americas in New York City.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succession_of_Rupert_Murdoch
  • The Murdoch Family Trust was already governed by Nevada law years earlier, so it was not newly 'moved' there in 2023 or 2024.
  • Lachlan Murdoch did not become chair of both companies in September 2023. Fox's official announcement said Rupert would step down at the mid-November annual meetings; after that, Lachlan would become sole chair of News Corp and continue as Fox's executive chair and CEO.
  • The September 23, 2024 hearing ended without a public ruling; Reuters reported the outcome was still unclear then. The adverse ruling was reported later, in December 2024.
  • The ruling was issued on Saturday, December 7, 2024; December 9 was when news outlets reported it, not the date of the decision itself.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth_Murdoch_(businesswoman)
  • Her current official title is with SISTER, not Sister Pictures. Sister’s own site identifies Elisabeth Murdoch as co-founder and executive chairman of SISTER, while saying Sister Pictures was incorporated into SISTER at launch.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Hall
  • This mixes up the couple’s civil wedding and their church celebration. Hall and Murdoch married in a civil ceremony on March 4, 2016; St Bride’s hosted a service of prayers and thanksgiving on March 5, 2016.
  • The attendance figure is wrong. Contemporary reports of Hall’s record night say she performed before 9,214 theatregoers, not 9,124.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_Lee
  • This is incorrect: the Academy’s own Honorary Award records show earlier recipients who were much younger, including child actor Hayley Mills in 1960.
  • The year is wrong. The Television Academy records Spike Lee’s nomination for 4 Little Girls as a 1998 nomination, not 1988.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She%27s_Gotta_Have_It_(TV_series)
  • This gets the timing wrong. Spike Lee said on January 19, 2017 that he would not use Michele’s song because she was going to perform at Trump’s inauguration, before the performance took place.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polisario_Front
  • This is outdated. UN sources say the 1991 ceasefire broke down in November 2020, so it has not remained continuously in effect since 1991.
  • This is outdated. Amnesty reported in September 2022 that Sultana Khaya had left her house after more than 18 months of house arrest, so she has not remained under continuous house arrest since November 2020.
  • This is legally inaccurate. The UN's legal counsel said the 1975 Madrid Agreement did not transfer sovereignty over Western Sahara to Morocco or Mauritania.

  • The U.S. did not establish a temporary consulate in Dakhla in January 2021. It announced a virtual presence post in December 2020, and current State Department listings still show only Rabat and Casablanca as U.S. posts in Morocco.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahim_Ghali
  • This mixes up two different offices. Ghali was elected President of the SADR and Secretary-General of the Polisario Front, not Secretary-General of the SADR.
  • This again assigns the wrong institution to the secretary-general role. Ghali was re-elected President of the SADR and Secretary-General of the Polisario Front.
