- Dalglish's first-season double was a league-and-FA Cup double in 1985–86, not a Premier League double. The Premier League was not created until 1992.
- The officially recognized Hillsborough death toll is 97, not 96. Andrew Devine was recognized in 2021 as the 97th fatality of the disaster.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oprichnina#Organization
- Lazhechnikov’s play is usually titled Oprichnik, not Oprichniki. Authoritative opera and literary sources identify the drama in the singular.
- Part II was completed in the 1940s but not released in 1946. It was banned and only released in 1958.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Nevrev
- This is too late by at least several years. Authoritative museum and encyclopedia sources say Nevrev turned to historical painting in the 1870s, and the Great Russian Encyclopedia lists one of his historical paintings from 1877.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_of_Novgorod
- This is off by nearly a century. The Novgorod Republic ceased to exist when Muscovy annexed Novgorod in 1478, not after Ivan IV's 1570 massacre.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Petrovich_Fyodorov-Chelyadnin
- This date is too late. Scholarly and reference sources place Fyodorov-Chelyadnin in the rank of boyar by 1546 or, at the latest, 1547—not 1550.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavel_Tretyakov
- Tretyakov Gallery sources say his early Dutch acquisitions were 11 graphic sheets and 9 paintings, not a first purchase of 10 canvases.
- The birth year is wrong. Tretyakov Gallery sources identify Sergei Mikhailovich Tretyakov as born in 1834, not 1824.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstantin_Pobedonostsev
- This is chronologically impossible: Alexander II had already been assassinated in March 1881. The April 29, 1881 manifesto was issued by Alexander III, while Pobedonostsev is described in reliable sources as its drafter or author.
- This reverses what the May Laws actually said. The 1882 rules barred Jews from settling outside towns and townlets, so they were confined to towns/shtetls rather than banned from them.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexey_Bogolyubov
- This sentence gives the wrong death date. Bogolyubov died in Paris on November 7, 1896, according to standard biographical and archival sources.
- The comparison dates are off. The Tretyakov Gallery was already open by 1874 and open to the public by 1881, while the Russian Museum opened in 1898—so Saratov’s museum was not 7 years earlier than Tretyakov, and it was 13, not 15, years earlier than the Russian Museum.

- This was not the first censored painting in the Russian Empire. Tretyakov's own official history notes that Vasily Perov's 1861 "Easter Procession in a Village" had already been banned by censors decades earlier.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_the_Terrible
- This is chronologically wrong. Restrictions on peasant movement in Muscovy existed long before 1597: the Sudebnik of 1497 already limited moves to St. George’s Day, and broader 'forbidden years' were operating by the early 1580s.
- The city was taken in 1563, not 1562. Authoritative reference works date Ivan IV’s Polotsk campaign to 1562–63, with the surrender of Polotsk on 15 February 1563.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Basil's_Cathedral
- The current cathedral is not limited to nine chapels/churches. Official museum sources describe Saint Basil’s Cathedral as having 10 churches, because a tenth church was added in 1588 over Basil the Blessed’s grave.
- This “always” claim is false. Official State Historical Museum pages themselves sometimes list Basil’s name first, e.g. “Храм Василия Блаженного (Покровский собор).”

- This is chronologically wrong: PCR-based Olympic sex testing was introduced in the 1990s, not the 1970s.
- The IOC did not officially mandate compulsory sex verification in 1966; the IOC's own mandatory programme began in 1968.
- This reverses what happened: CAS did not deny Dutee Chand's appeal; it suspended the hyperandrogenism regulations.
- The Xinjiang Papers were published in November 2019, more than two years before the Beijing 2022 opening ceremony, not 'some weeks before.'

- This dates the end of Swedish officer fullmakter/commissions too early. Official Riksdag materials show officers were still being appointed with fullmakt into the early 1990s.

- The Downey restaurant is not the oldest McDonald's overall. McDonald's says its first restaurant opened in San Bernardino in 1940; Downey is the oldest still operating Red-and-White location, opened in 1953.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Jetson
- This gets the anniversary wrong. The 1989 special celebrated 50 years of William Hanna and Joseph Barbera’s partnership, not 50 years of Hanna-Barbera Productions.
- This is contradicted by casting history. George Jetson was already being cast before O'Hanlon was hired, so he did not originate the character’s name.

- Strelkovka is southwest of Moscow, not east of it.
- Zhukov took command in Mongolia in 1939, not 1938.
- This cannot be right: the Order of the Red Star was created in 1930, and Zhukov’s early civil-war decoration was the Order of the Red Banner.
- These party-membership dates are wrong: Zhukov joined in 1919, not 1917, and remained a party member for the rest of his life.

- This timing is wrong: the Ministry of Aircraft Production did not yet exist at the outbreak of war in 1939. The National Archives dates the ministry to 1940–1945.
