en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magda_Goebbels
- Her birth name was Behrend, not Ritschel. Contemporary biographical reference works state she was born Johanna Maria Magdalena Behrend and only later became legally associated with the Ritschel name.
- This was not her birth name. She was born Johanna Maria Magdalena Behrend and only later acquired the Ritschel/Rietschel name.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Haldane
- Haldane did not remain at USC until 1987. Credible biographies place him at USC from 1981 to 1985, followed by Bell Labs from 1985 to 1987.
- This promotion year is wrong. Authoritative biographies say Haldane was an assistant professor at USC from 1981 to 1985, not an associate professor there in 1981.
- These UC San Diego dates are incorrect. Authoritative biographies place Haldane at UC San Diego from 1987 to 1990, not from July 1986 to February 1992.
- This is mislabeled. In 2017 Haldane was elected as a foreign associate of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, not as a regular member.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-2_rocket
- The V-2 campaign was not carried out by the Wehrmacht alone. Authoritative histories say the Army/Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS both launched V-2 rockets.
- It was the fourth test vehicle, but the 3 October 1942 success was the third launch attempt, not the fourth flight.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clacton-on-Sea
- Official and ONS-based sources put Clacton-on-Sea's 2011 population at about 50,548, not 107,237.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Giancana
- “Family Jewels” was not a CIA operation. It was the later name for a 1973 compilation of CIA employees’ reports about possible abuses; Giancana and Roselli were involved in an anti-Castro plot that was later documented in those files.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Marilyn_Monroe
- Monroe’s fatal overdose was not of antidepressants. Sources on her toxicology identify pentobarbital and chloral hydrate—i.e., a barbiturate and a sedative/hypnotic drug.
- This gets the date of enactment wrong. California’s postmortem publicity-rights law was enacted in 1984; January 1, 1985 was its effective date.
- This overstates the autopsy findings. Later quotations of Noguchi’s autopsy description note a slight ecchymotic area—a bruise—on Monroe’s left hip/lower back.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yogi_Berra
- This is incorrect because the 1973 National Personnel Records Center fire destroyed Army and Air Force personnel files, not Navy files. Berra served in the U.S. Navy.
- The service years are off by one year. Official sources say Berra was discharged in May 1946, so his Navy service extended into 1946, not just 1945.
- Official U.S. defense sources place Berra off Utah Beach, not Omaha Beach, during the Normandy invasion.
- This count is outdated. After Aaron Judge won his third AL MVP in 2025, there are seven AL players—not six—with three MVP awards.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_DiMaggio
- The monthly pay figure is wrong. Credible biographies of DiMaggio’s wartime service say he traded his Yankees salary for about $50 per month in the Army, not $21.
- DiMaggio did not lead the majors in RBIs in 1937. Hank Greenberg finished ahead of him with 183–184 RBIs, while DiMaggio had 167.

- This is outdated: Klopp left Liverpool in May 2024, so he has not led the club since 2015 up to the present.
- This is an anachronism: Liverpool's 1985–86 double was the Football League First Division and FA Cup, not the Premier League, which did not begin until 1992.
