Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Joanne Gair — The nickname 'Kiwi Jo' is incorrectly given as 'alternatively Kiwi Joe' — the correct spelling is 'Kiwi Jo'.

Joanne Gair — The claim that her Disappearing Model was featured on the highest-rated episode of Ripley's Believe It or Not! is unverifiable and likely an invented or exaggerated claim.

Norman Bel Geddes — Bel Geddes did not design the sets for the film The Affairs of Cellini; he designed the costumes for that film, not the sets.

Norman Bel Geddes — Bel Geddes did not assist on the film Things to Come (1936); he was not involved in that film. The film's production designer was Vincent Korda, and Bel Geddes had no credited role.

Jony Ive — The entry says he held the role until his departure in July 2019, but he officially left Apple in June 2019 (announced June 27, 2019, effective later), not July 2019.

Jony Ive — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section states 'He was the only Apple executive whose compensation ceased to be publicly disclosed after 2011.' This is inaccurate: Apple stopped disclosing individual executive compensation for all executives after 2011, not just Ive.

William Morris — The entry truncates the name of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings to 'Society for the Protection of Anc'.
