en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_neutrino
  • Super-Kamiokande is about 1,000 meters underground, not 2,700 meters. The 2,700 figure refers to meters water equivalent overburden, not the actual depth below ground.
  • Borexino is no longer an active running detector. The collaboration’s official site says the last data-acquisition run ended on October 7, 2021.
  • Homestake was primarily sensitive to high-energy boron-8 solar neutrinos, not mainly to beryllium-7 neutrinos.
  • This is outdated/misstated. The total solar-neutrino flux observed at Earth agrees with solar-model predictions; the historic one-third deficit applied mainly to electron neutrinos before flavor conversion was understood.
  • Homestake did not register a few argon atoms per day over only “several years.” It ran for decades, and the official historical record gives an average production of about 0.48 argon atoms per day, with extractions done roughly every two months.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majorana_fermion
  • This overstates the analogy. Ordinary Bogoliubov quasiparticles in superconductors are not generally their own antiparticles; the self-conjugate Majorana case is the special zero-energy case.
  • The dimension is off by a factor of two. A set of 2n Majorana operators with anticommutators {γ_i,γ_j}=2δ_ij generates the Clifford algebra on a 2n-dimensional space, i.e. Cl(R^{2n}), not Cl(R^n).
  • The 2016 ORNL result did not report direct observation of Majorana fermions. The paper and ORNL’s own write-up described signatures/evidence in α-RuCl3 and called it a proximate candidate, not an observation of Majorana quasiparticles themselves.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino
  • This mixes up MiniBooNE and MicroBooNE. MiniBooNE is not currently running, and Fermilab later reported the 'no hint of a sterile neutrino' result from MicroBooNE, not MiniBooNE.
  • This overstates the LEP/Z-boson constraint. Z-width measurements limit only neutrinos that couple to the weak force; sterile neutrinos, by definition, need not couple to the Z at all, so they do not need to be heavier than 45.6 GeV.

  • This is too absolute: many genetic disorders are caused by de novo mutations that are not inherited from either parent.

  • The sign of this commutator is reversed. With the page’s own convention [A,B] = AB − BA, one gets [H,p] = [V(x),p] = +iℏ V′(x), not −iℏ V′(x).

  • This is outdated. Hans-Christian Pape became president in 2018, but Robert Schlögl has been President of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation since 1 January 2023.
  • The German title is wrong. Heisenberg and Euler's 1936 paper is titled "Folgerungen aus der Diracschen Theorie des Positrons," not "Konsequenzen..."
  • The title is misstated. Heisenberg's 1926 Mathematische Annalen paper is titled "Über quantentheoretische Kinematik und Mechanik," not "Über quantenmechanische Kinematik und Mechanik."

  • 这句话把海森堡的“第一篇论文”误写到了莱比锡时期。美国物理学会史料显示，他的第一篇论文在1921年提交、1922年发表，早于他1927年赴莱比锡任教多年。
  • 这里把研究所迁往慕尼黑的时间写早了。可靠史料显示，1955年只是筹备搬迁，研究所实际于1958年迁至慕尼黑。
  • 这里把海森堡赴莱比锡任教授时的年龄写大了一岁。权威年表显示他在1927年10月受聘时仍是25岁，12月5日才满26岁。

  • Mullin did discuss plans affecting certain sanctuary-city airports, but he explicitly said, “We are not going to halt the flights.” Reporting describes a proposal to withdraw CBP officers or stop processing arrivals at some sanctuary-jurisdiction airports, not a blanket plan to block all international flights into blue cities.

  • This is outdated. Giuseppe Sciacca stopped being secretary in January 2022, when Pope Francis appointed Andrea Ripa as secretary of the Apostolic Signatura.
  • This misstates Shane Lee Kirby's role. In March 2024 he was appointed substitute promoter of justice, not the promoter of justice itself.

  • In the imperial army, military tribunes were appointed or selected by the emperor, not elected.
  • The dating is wrong: the major 4th-century army reforms were already underway under Constantine I, while Constantine II only reigned from 337 to 340.
  • This misstates who served in the imperial fleets. The crews were mainly freeborn provincial recruits (peregrini), not freed slaves.

  • Кредитование песен альбома не ограничивается только Максом и Артёмом Фадеевыми: в официальных трековых кредитах фигурируют и другие авторы, включая Татьяну Заикину.

  • The Rotten Tomatoes statistics in this sentence are out of date. Rotten Tomatoes currently lists the film at 96% from 81 critic reviews, not 97% from 74, and the average rating shown is no longer 8.5/10.
  • That ranking claim is incorrect. Metacritic lists this film with a March 22, 2024 release date, and Metacritic's 2023 rankings place other films—such as Past Lives—at the top of 2023 releases instead.

  • This sentence gets the release years wrong: ABC Music lists *Ten in the Bed* as released on November 9, 2012, but *Christmas at Jay's Place* as released in 2013.
  • The production title is wrong. Hayes Theatre's 2025 production starring Jay Laga'aia was *The Pirates of Penzance*, not *The Pirates of Penance*.
  • This role listing is incorrect. Contemporary coverage of the 2013 Auckland production says Jay Laga'aia played the Wizard in *Wicked*, not an ensemble part.
  • For *Ten in the Bed*, the release year is wrong. ABC Music lists the album's release date as November 9, 2012, not 2013.

  • The mall was not fully demolished in 2019. City of Dallas releases say demolition of the remaining portions began in March 2023 and final demolition/clearing was completed in May 2023.
  • This is outdated/incorrect. Reporting from November 2025 and April 2026 shows the first Dallas Midtown project only began construction in late 2025/early 2026, not in 2024.
