en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Leap
- The July 11, 2018 announcement did not make John Donovan a board member. It said he would have observer rights on Magic Leap’s board.

- The cited American Economic Review paper reports an average founder exit payoff of $5.8 million, not $4.4 million. The $4.4 million figure appears in an earlier working-paper version, so attributing it to the AER paper is inaccurate.
- The drop may be roughly 93%, but the time span stated here is wrong. April 2019 to June 2020 is about 14 months, not 6 months.
- Anthropic had filed confidentially for an IPO, but it had not priced one yet. The company said on June 1, 2026 that the number of shares and the price had not been set.

- This reverses the historical order. The region was called East Bengal first, then renamed East Pakistan, and became Bangladesh in 1971.
- This is too absolute. Transnistria has been recognized by at least other non-UN states, including Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Greenspan
- The CFTC chairman’s surname is misspelled here. The official name was William J. Rainer, not "Ranier."
- Greenspan’s fifth term was not unprecedented. William McChesney Martin had already been appointed to a fifth four-year term as Fed chair in 1967.
- January 31, 2006 was not the scheduled end of Greenspan’s fifth chairmanship term. His fifth four-year term as chair began on June 20, 2004; January 31, 2006 was the end of his separate Board membership term.
- The Fed had already cut the federal funds target to 1.00% in June 2003, not 2004. In 2004 it began raising rates, moving the target up to 1.25% on June 30, 2004.

- Die Zusammensetzung ist falsch. Die SELK gibt aktuell neun Mitglieder an: den Bischof, vier Pröpste und vier Kirchenrätinnen/-räte — nicht den geschäftsführenden Kirchenrat plus sechs Laienkirchenräte.
- Die Datierung ist anachronistisch: 1808 gab es keine Batavische Republik mehr. Sie endete 1806 und wurde durch das Königreich Holland ersetzt.

- OpenAI’s Windows app release notes say the early Windows app became available on October 17, 2024, not October 15.
- In March 2025, ChatGPT’s default image generator became GPT-4o image generation, not GPT Image.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaf
- Leaf cuticles reduce water loss, but they are not impermeable to water vapor. Water vapor can diffuse through the cuticle, which is why cuticular transpiration occurs.
- This gives the wrong time for the first angiosperms. The earliest unequivocal angiosperm fossils are from the Early Cretaceous, not the Triassic.
- Bambusa bambos is not in Aracaceae. Bamboo is a grass, and Kew lists Bambusa bambos in the family Poaceae.
- Borassus is not in Poaceae. Borassus is a genus of fan palms in the family Arecaceae.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_temperature
- Purcell and Pound’s 1951 LiF experiment did not create the negative-temperature state by simply removing the crystal from the field. Contemporary descriptions say they rapidly reversed the magnetic field, leaving the spins temporarily antiparallel to the new field.
- For a bounded two-level system in the canonical ensemble, negative temperatures are still needed to describe states above the equal-population point. Standard treatments show the internal energy passes through an infinite-temperature midpoint and enters a negative-temperature regime at higher energy.
- NMR inversion is conventionally produced by a 180° pulse, not by pulses ‘over 180°’. Standard NMR references describe magnetization inversion with a 180° pulse and note that 180° is the null point, with larger flip angles going past inversion.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_the_Impossible
- This date is wrong. Quantum teleportation was proposed in 1993 and first demonstrated experimentally in 1997, not 1988.
- This overstates and misstates Einstein's role. Black holes are a prediction of general relativity, and Einstein's later 1939 argument against their physical formation is now understood to have been mistaken.
- This mixes up the institutions and dates. Caltech's blue-green visible-light result was reported in 2007, the 2008 red-light work was from UC Berkeley, and KIT's visible-light cloak was reported in 2011.

- Das ist veraltet bzw. falsch: Schwarzheide/Schipkau war nicht ein Verkehrslandeplatz, sondern ein Sonderlandeplatz, und seine Genehmigung wurde zum 1. Oktober 2024 widerrufen.
- Die Verwaltungsanschrift der Gemeinde ist nicht Hauptstraße 13b in Hermsdorf. Offizielle Verzeichnisse führen die Gemeindeverwaltung beim Amt Ruhland in der Rudolf-Breitscheid-Straße 4 in Ruhland.
- Das Schloss Lipsa wird nach den aktuellen Angaben des Amtes Ruhland nicht als Altenpflegeheim genutzt; es steht leer.

- Hermsdorf is not the sixth-largest Ortsteil of Reinickendorf by area. Based on the district’s own area figures, it is the fifth-largest.
- This school listing is outdated. The current Berlin school directory lists the school at Olafstraße 32–34 as Waldseeschule, not Richard-Keller-Schule.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_oil
- Balsam of Peru is not an essential oil. Authoritative sources describe it as a resin/balsam from Myroxylon, often specifically called Myroxylon pereirae resin.
- This is too absolute: essential-oil pesticides can harm non-target organisms. Reviews document lethal and sublethal effects on pollinators, predators, aquatic organisms, and other beneficial species.
- These neem LD50 values are misreported. Published sources give neem oil oral LD50 values in milliliters or grams per kilogram, and dermal LD50 values above 2000 mg/kg—not 14 mg/kg orally and >2 mg/kg dermally.

- Geneva does not generally require a medical reason to approve air conditioning. Its official rules allow permits when cooling need is demonstrated by overheating or internal-load criteria; medical need is only one special derogation route.
