Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Celadet Alî Bedirxan — The entry says he 'died on 15 July 1951' and in the 'DID YOU KNOW' section says 'He died in Damascus in 1951, either in a traffic accident or after falling down a well on his farm'; the alternative of falling down a well is not supported by reliable historical

Evander of Pallantium — The entry says Evander killed the three-souled Erulus, king of Italy, three times in one day and became the most powerful king there; in canonical myth, Evander does not kill Erulus, and the story is typically associated with Hercules.

James Evans (linguist) — The entry states Evans developed a syllabic writing system for the Ojibwe and Cree languages, but historically, Evans is primarily known for creating the Cree syllabary; the Ojibwe syllabary was developed later by others based on his system, and Evans himself

James Evans (linguist) — The entry describes John McLean as an 'HBC trapper', but he was actually an explorer and chief factor, not a trapper.
