Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Ilse Koch — The entry states she was seven months pregnant with her fourth child at the time of her 1947 sentencing, but she gave birth in November 1947 after the August sentencing, so the specific claim of 'seven months' at sentencing is not supported by standard sources

Irma Grese — The entry states Karl Gebhardt personally mentored Grese at Hohenlychen Sanatorium, but there is no established evidence of direct mentorship in reliable sources.

Ivan Milat — The entry states Milat was convicted for the murder of 'two men and five women,' but the actual victims were three men and four women, so the gender count is reversed.

J. Bruce Ismay — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section states 'Ismay gave Captain Rostron of the Carpathia a message to send to White Star's New York office reporting the sinking.' This is inaccurate: Ismay did not give the message directly to Captain Rostron; he gave it to Harold Cottam

Jack Sheppard — The nickname 'Honest Jack' or 'Gentleman Jack' is not widely established in historical canon; Sheppard was commonly known as 'Jack Sheppard' or 'The Prison-Breaker', not by these nicknames.

Jack Sheppard — Sheppard was arrested and imprisoned five times in 1724, escaping four times: This is incorrect. He was arrested and imprisoned multiple times, but the widely accepted count is that he escaped from prison four times total (including from Newgate twice), not th

Kermit Gosnell — The entry contains an incomplete sentence: 'He also worked one day per week at Atlanti' — this is a typographical error or incomplete statement, not a complete factual claim.

Khun Sa — He did not adopt the Shan name 'Khun Sa' in 1976; he used the name Khun Sa earlier, at least by the 1960s.

Khun Sa — The claim that he controlled 70% of Burma's opium production and commanded 20,000 men is an exaggeration; his army was typically cited at 10,000–15,000 at its peak, not 20,000.

Kim Jae-gyu — Kim Jae-gyu served as vice-president of the Army College in 1960, not 1958.
