Did you know ...

... that a noticeboard once saw debate between bloodofox and Sangdeboeuf?
... that List of cetaceans is a featured list despite being tagged in multiple places with "[cetacean needed]"?
... that BDD may have saved his colleagues from a lengthy COVID case by moving?
... that five years of Donald Knuth's history are secret?
... that a user who described themself as a quack spent most of their edits opposing what they saw as quackery?

Quotation of the day

“

It takes a lot of guts to come back to someone and tell them that you were wrong. I commend you greatly for doing that. It puts a shine and a glow on your character, and that means even more that you belong here as an editor. Don't worry about it. :-) Learn from this, and grow from this - that's all you can do. You're new here... You're going to make mistakes. I made a lot of them when I was new here, too.

Failed verification

Maybe I'll keep track of cases in which I found a 'long-standing'^[2] claim in an article not to be supported by its ostensible source (i.e., found it to fail verification), for future reference as to how common this is.

Rating key:

1 — The claim only mildly or understandably misrepresents the source.
2 — The source says something similar but not this.
3 — The source says nothing similar.
4 — The source casts doubt on the claim.
5 — The source outright disagrees with the claim.

List of cases (numbers are diff-links):
