en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Mali_offensives
- This compresses the timeline and attributes Operation Serval to the wrong actors. France launched Operation Serval on January 11, 2013 at the request of Mali's interim authorities, not the officers who overthrew Touré in March 2012.
- The ambush happened on July 18, 2026, not July 17. Multiple later reports place the convoy attack on Saturday, July 18, near Tabrichat as it traveled from Anéfis.

- NeXT did not become part of Apple on December 20, 1996. Apple announced its intent to acquire NeXT on that date, but said it completed the acquisition on February 7, 1997.
- Apple did not complete its purchase of NeXT in December 1996. Apple announced the deal on December 20, 1996 and completed the acquisition on February 7, 1997.
- This entry is mislabeled. The linked page is not a macNN review of Videator; it is an Ars Technica interview with Andrew Stone.

- This reverses the usual setup in action localization. Standard spatio-temporal action localization methods typically output frame-level bounding boxes or tubes; Segment-Tube was proposed specifically as a segmentation-based alternative.

- ARM’s own documentation names the configuration file `armul.cnf`, not `armul.conf`.

- This formula is incorrect. Google says Ad Rank is not just bid multiplied by Quality Score; it is calculated from several factors, and the visible Quality Score is not an input in the ad auction.

- Jordan is not a Gulf state. Official GCC materials define the Gulf states as the six GCC members and refer to Jordan separately.
- By August 2026, Asim Munir's rank was Field Marshal, not General. Pakistani government releases from March and May 2026 identify him as Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir.

en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Reproducibility&diff=prev...
- This misstates what Phase I and Phase II mean in drug development. Phase I trials assess safety and dosing; Phase II trials test whether a treatment works and continue safety evaluation.
- This mixes up repeatability/reproducibility with differences between two results. Standard metrology references define them using the dispersion or standard deviation of results under repeatability or reproducibility conditions, not as the standard deviation of a two-result difference.
- This is outdated. Treponema pallidum, the bacterium that causes syphilis, has since been cultured in vitro by other researchers.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XHamster
- The launch date shown here is off by two years. Credible records place xHamster's domain registration and first commercial use in 2007, not 2005.
- The year is wrong: records from xHamster and domain-arbitration proceedings place the site's founding/launch in 2007, not 2005.
- The month is wrong. xHamster's own legal filings say the site was operating by May 24, 2007, and the domain was registered on April 2, 2007.
- The year is wrong. News coverage of xHamster's open letter to the Wachowskis dates it to August 2017, not August 2018.
- This did not become law on February 18, 2020. On that date the bill only passed the Utah House; it became law without the governor's signature on April 1, 2020.

- This date is wrong: WG21 had not yet approved N5046 on March 28, 2026, and the Draft International Standard was still unfinished in May 2026.
- This is outdated/incorrect. By June 1, 2026, WG21 said N5050—not N5046—was the current working draft and final draft for C++26.
- This overstates what happened in March 2026. WG21's May 12 editors’ report says the Draft International Standard was still not completed and N5046 still had not been approved after that meeting.

- Anthropic did not say 10% of its environments had reward hacks. It said over 10% were flagged for a mix of issues, including reward hacking, broken tasks, and misconfiguration.
- Anthropic’s audit did not miss the change entirely. It found Hacker-Opus looked similar overall on many broad audits, but worse on specific subdimensions such as ignoring constraints and destructive actions.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermont
- Das ist zu allgemein formuliert: Massachusetts erlaubte gleichgeschlechtliche Ehen bereits am 17. Mai 2004. Vermont war 2009 nicht der erste Staat insgesamt, sondern der erste, der dies per Gesetzgebung einführte.
- Peter Welchs aktuelle Senatsperiode endet nicht im Januar 2027, sondern am 3. Januar 2029.
- Vermont lag 2022 zwar am Ende unter den US-Bundesstaaten, aber nicht unter Bundesstaaten und Territorien zusammen. Mehrere US-Territorien hatten ein deutlich kleineres BIP.
- Die Demokraten gewannen Vermont seit 1992 zwar durchgehend, aber nicht mit ständig steigenden Stimmenanteilen. Der Anteil sank z. B. von 53,4 % (1996) auf 50,6 % (2000) und von 67,5 % (2008) auf 66,6 % (2012).
- Diese Streckenbeschreibung ist veraltet. Der Ethan Allen Express endet heute in Burlington, und der Halt in Fair Haven wurde schon 2010 durch Castleton ersetzt.
- Das war nicht die erste geschriebene Verfassung eines unabhängigen Staates in Nordamerika: New Hampshire hatte bereits 1776 eine Staatsverfassung, ebenso Virginia im Jahr 1776.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montpelier_(Vermont)
- The article lists the wrong mayor. Montpelier’s official city website identifies Marc Gwinn, not Jack McCullough, as mayor.
- This founding claim is wrong. VCFA says the current institution was founded in 2008, and its predecessor officially opened in 1834 in Newbury, not 1831 in Montpelier.
- 1805 is the year Montpelier was chosen as the permanent capital, not the year the first State House was built. Official Vermont sources say the first State House had to be completed by September 1808.
- This is outdated. Union Institute & University is not based in Montpelier now; the Montpelier campus was sold in 2008, and the university’s own site gives a Cincinnati, Ohio address.

- Der niederländische Teil dieser Aussage ist überholt bzw. falsch. Eine offizielle Landmacht-Veröffentlichung aus dem Jahr 2024 beschreibt ein solches akustisches Ortungssystem noch als Zukunftsprojekt „op de planning“, nicht als bereits eingesetztes System.
