en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Notorious_B.I.G.
- As written, this is too broad and is incorrect. Life After Death was a huge seller and the top year-end R&B/hip-hop album, but it was not the overall best-selling U.S. album of 1997.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_the_Notorious_B.I.G.
- This sentence conflates two different lawsuits: the $400 million LAPD suit was filed in 2002, while the separate 2007 suit named the City of Los Angeles and former officers Raphael Perez and Nino Durden and was reported as seeking up to $500 million.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suge_Knight
- This sentence breakdown is incorrect. Prosecutors said Knight’s 28-year term was 11 years for voluntary manslaughter, doubled to 22 because of a prior strike, plus 5 years for a serious/violent felony and 1 year for the deadly-weapon allegation—not 6 years for a 'third strike.'

- This is incorrect: Trescothick had already been a Somerset player for many years by 2007, having made his Somerset debut in 1993 and spent his whole county career there.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Bezos
- Jeff Bezos’s Koru/Y721 is not the world’s largest yacht overall. It is widely described as the world’s largest sailing yacht, while larger non-sailing yachts exist.
- Bezos’s invitation to the Defense Innovation Advisory Board came in mid-2016 under Defense Secretary Ash Carter, before the November 2016 election. It was not an invitation to a Trump-created board after the election.
- This is a math error. Forbes lists Bezos at $4.1 billion in 2005 and $8.7 billion in 2007, which is a little over double—not quadruple.
- Washington is a community-property state, not a common-law property state. Describing the Bezos divorce as governed by “Washington state common law” is legally inaccurate in this context.
- The CIA cloud contract was awarded in 2013, not 2014. Contemporary reporting from 2013 describes the CIA as having selected Amazon Web Services that year.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dario_Amodei
- The Princeton degree listing is wrong. Princeton identifies Dario Amodei as a Ph.D. alumnus, and Princeton’s relevant graduate programs award a Ph.D. with an incidental M.A. en route—not an M.S.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fourth_Estate_(painting)
- The year in this caption is wrong. Official museum and cultural-heritage records date Fiumana to 1895–1896, not 1898.
- These dates do not add up. Official Pellizza materials identify Giacomo Bidone as born in 1844, not 1884, and say he emigrated after 1891.
- The title is misspelled here. The work’s title is *Il cammino dei lavoratori*, with a double 'm'.

- Trescothick's ODI debut against Zimbabwe at The Oval was on 8 July 2000, not 9 July 2000.
- The 2003 and 2004 totals are reversed: Trescothick scored 1,003 Test runs in 2003 and 1,004 in 2004.

- Preseen's own site says its Market Pulse 26Q2 result was '1st bot, 3rd of 127 overall,' not first overall. That contradicts the claim that it beat all humans to take first place.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_transmutation
- This reverses the usual stellar-fusion rule: fusion up to iron releases energy, while fusing iron or heavier nuclei requires energy input.
- Standard histories credit Rutherford’s 1919 nitrogen-bombardment experiment as the first artificial transmutation; Blackett’s 1925 work confirmed and clarified that reaction.
- This is only true for certain uranium isotopes, especially U-235. Most uranium in reactor fuel is U-238, which does not fission with slow (thermal) neutrons.
- Rutherford and Soddy’s thorium work did not show thorium turning directly into radium. Their 1902 result was that thorium produced new radioactive substances, notably thorium X and a gaseous emanation.
- This mixes up the sites of the two neutron-capture processes. The r-process is associated with explosive events such as neutron-star mergers, but the s-process mainly occurs in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars.
- The 2022 ISOLDE paper was about 18 radioactive gold ion beams (i.e., 18 gold isotopes/beams), not just 18 individual gold nuclei.

- This sentence misnames DOE’s lab and overstates combined-cycle gas plant capital costs. EIA’s published overnight-cost table puts new combined-cycle units at roughly $1,176–$1,330 per kW, not “around $2,500 per kilowatt.”

- The Watergate burglars were arrested on June 17, 1972, not June 18.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Throat_(Watergate)
- Charles Colson was not White House Counsel; his official title in the Nixon White House was Special Counsel to the President.
- L. Patrick Gray was not appointed FBI Director at that point; Nixon designated him Acting Director of the FBI.
- Bob Woodward's own biography says he was hired by The Washington Post in September 1971, not August 1971.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Felt
- This misstates what the Plamondon/Keith case decided. The Supreme Court's 1972 ruling addressed warrantless domestic-security wiretaps, not black-bag break-ins, and later case law recognized that covert entries can be constitutional when authorized by a warrant.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton%C3%ADn_Dvo%C5%99%C3%A1k
- Dvořák had a public performance of his music in 1871, not first in 1872. The song "Remembrance" (Vzpomínání) was publicly performed in Prague on 10 December 1871.
- Dvořák’s first son was born in 1874, not 1875. His son Otakar was born on 4 April 1874.
- This is incorrect: Dvořák’s 1875 application did win. Official timelines show a second application in August 1875 and a second state scholarship awarded on 5 March 1876; the official biography says he won the award five years in a row.
- Symphony No. 3 was premiered in 1874, but Symphony No. 4 was not. Only its third movement was played in Prague on 25 May 1874; the complete Fourth Symphony was first performed on 6 April 1892.
- Only the sketch was done in about three days. The official work catalogue dates the quartet from 8 June to 23 June 1893 and says the full score was finished within twelve days.
- The date here is off by a year. The official Dvořák catalogue dates the String Quintet No. 1 from 6 June 1861, not 1860.
- The month here is wrong. Dvořák’s first public performance was "Remembrance" (Vzpomínání) in Prague on 10 December 1871, not in October 1871.
