en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moksha
- This misstates Dvaita doctrine. In Dvaita Vedanta, the soul does not unite into oneness with God; it remains eternally distinct from Vishnu even in liberation.
- This describes a non-dualist outcome, not a dualist one. Dvaita holds that God and the liberated soul remain eternally distinct.
- This is wrong for Buddhism. Buddhist nirvana is not described as resting in an eternal essence such as Purusha or Atman, because Buddhism rejects a permanent self.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleshas_(Hinduism)
- Yoga Sutra 2.4 describes four conditions in which the kleshas exist—dormant, attenuated, interrupted, and active—not four stages for overcoming them. The article also uses inaccurate glosses and misspells *prasupta* as “parsupta.”

- This is too absolute. Having a PDF of a book is not inherently illegal: public-domain books and openly licensed books can be lawfully downloaded, shared, and kept as PDFs.

- This list wrongly treats Hannover and Saarbrücken as cities belonging to a Landkreis. Official sources show they belong to the Region Hannover and the Regionalverband Saarbrücken, both special municipal associations rather than Landkreise.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alignment_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons)
- AD&D 2nd Edition was released in 1989, not 1988.
- This misstates how 4th-edition alignments mapped to other editions. Official Wizards guidance says 4e good corresponds to neutral good or chaotic good, evil to lawful evil or neutral evil, and unaligned to lawful neutral, neutral, or chaotic neutral.

- Die Berliner Übernachtungsteuer beträgt nicht mehr 5 %. Offizielle Berliner Stellen geben seit dem 1. Januar 2025 einen Steuersatz von 7,5 % an.
- Für Grindelwald ist die Abgabe offiziell mit 5,20 CHF angegeben, nicht „Franken bzw. Euro“. Die Angabe vermischt zwei verschiedene Währungen.

- Bernstein did not end U.S. export controls on encryption code. Encryption source code remained subject to export-control rules, with notice and other requirements under the EAR.
- That is not what the Junger case was about. Junger challenged Commerce Department export rules on nonmilitary encryption under the EAR, not a munitions classification under ITAR.
- The BWC lacks an international verification regime, but domestic implementation is still legally required. Article IV says each State Party must take national measures to prohibit and prevent biological weapons.
- The 2014 funding pause was not a blanket pause on gain-of-function research. It applied only to certain experiments involving influenza, MERS, and SARS viruses.

- This reverses what the literature says about Masters and Johnson. Their work is widely summarized as emphasizing the clitoris’ role and arguing that so-called vaginal and clitoral orgasms are not separate physiological entities.
- This was not the first imaging of the clitoris in an aroused state. Published studies had already imaged female genital anatomy during sexual arousal years earlier, including MRI in 1999 and functional ultrasound in 2013.

- The date is wrong: documented press-stud/snap-fastener patents are from 1885, not 1805. Sources place the invention of the modern press-stud in the mid-1880s.
- This reverses the usual convention. Traditional button placement is generally right for men's clothes and left for women's clothes, not the other way around.

- The EPA notice does not propose 32 million total across the two states. It proposes up to 16 million in Florida in year 1 and 16 million in year 2, and the same again in California—up to 64 million total across Florida and California.
- It is not the largest U.S. mosquito-release deployment on record. In 2022, EPA approved a much larger Oxitec program in Florida and California that outside coverage summarized as allowing roughly 2.4–2.5 billion mosquitoes through 2024.

- This is a misquotation of Gramsci. The widely repeated “time of monsters” line is a later paraphrase; Gramsci’s actual wording was about the old dying, the new being unable to be born, and “morbid symptoms” appearing in the interregnum.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nahui_Ollin
- This is too narrow. Credible museum and archaeological sources describe Nahui Ollin as a pre-Hispanic Mexica concept attested across the broader Postclassic period, not a concept specific to the 16th century.

- "AI 2027" does not have a single ending where AI annihilates humanity. Its official site says it has two endings—a "slowdown" and a "race" ending—and Scott Alexander's own introduction presents human destruction only as one conditional possibility if AI is misaligned.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Productivity_paradox
- This term was in use before 1993. Published sources show "productivity paradox" appearing in 1986, and Brynjolfsson himself used the phrase in a 1989 conference paper.
- 2022 is no longer the most recent productivity data. BLS has published newer productivity releases, including 2024 industry data and 2025 aggregate productivity updates.

- The student count is outdated. The official Brandenburg school profile lists 685 students for the 2025/2026 school year, not 679.
- The teacher count is outdated. The official Brandenburg school profile reports 56 teachers, not 62.
- This is no longer current. The school's own exchange page says the Hungary/Budapest student exchange no longer takes place.

- This mixes up the foundation of the Stift with its move into the former Augustinian monastery. Official and scholarly sources state the Stift was founded in 1536, but it was housed in the former monastery only from 1547 onward.
- Frank Oidtmann is no longer the current Stiftsmusikdirektor. Sources from 2025 report that he left Tübingen for a new Kantor post in Kaufbeuren.
- Frank Oidtmann’s tenure did not end in 2024. Sources from 2025 state that he served as music director at the Evangelisches Stift Tübingen until 2025.

- Это устаревшая редакция примечания 1 к статье 285 УК РФ. В действующей редакции перечень шире: туда включены, в частности, государственные внебюджетные фонды, публично-правовые компании и некоторые хозяйственные общества под контролем государства.
- Это не действующая формулировка примечания 4 к статье 285 УК РФ. В актуальной редакции говорится не о «служащих органов местного самоуправления», а о «муниципальных служащих».

- This mixes up two different Vatican documents. In 2015 Pope Francis sent a message for the 750th anniversary of Dante’s birth; his apostolic letter was titled Candor lucis aeternae and was issued in 2021 for the 700th anniversary of Dante’s death.

- This misdescribes Bunyan’s book. In The Pilgrim’s Progress, Christian visits the Interpreter’s House; he is shown a man there who recounts a dream of Judgment Day, but Christian himself is not the one dreaming it there.
