Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Napoleonic Wars — The entry lists the French invasion of Russia as a separate conflict, but it is conventionally considered part of the War of the Sixth Coalition.

Napoleonic Wars — The entry includes 9 November 1799 as a possible start date for the Napoleonic Wars, which contradicts its own stated start of 1803 and is not widely accepted as the start of the Napoleonic Wars.

Northern Crusades — The entry states the official starting point was Pope Celestine III's call in 1195, but the Wendish Crusade of 1147 was already authorized by Pope Eugenius III and is widely considered the start of the Northern Crusades; the 1195 call is not the official start

Ottoman wars in Europe — The claim that 'the island of Venetian-ruled Corfu remained the only Greek island not conquered by the Ottomans' is factually incorrect; several other Greek islands, such as Tinos, Kythera, and other Ionian Islands, were also never conquered by the Ottomans.

Pacific War — Listing 'Soviet Union' as a major participant is misleading given its brief and late involvement (only from August 1945).

Pacific War — Claiming Macau was the only notable unoccupied European colony is inaccurate; Portuguese Timor was also unoccupied until February 1942, and Macau was under Japanese influence.

Peloponnesian War — The key turning point is listed as 'Persian intervention in support of Sparta (413 BC)', but the first treaty between Sparta and Persia was in 412 BC, not 413 BC.

Peloponnesian War — The 'Argive War' is not a standard or widely recognized phase name for 419–416 BC; the standard phases are the Archidamian War, the Peace of Nicias, the Sicilian Expedition, and the Decelean/Ionian War.

Punic Wars — The Mercenary War is described as 'an unsuccessful Carthaginian revolt' — it was actually a revolt against Carthage, not by Carthage.

Punic Wars — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section says Polybius was 'present during the Third Punic War' — he was not an eyewitness to the war; he was in Rome and only visited Carthage after its destruction.

Roman–Persian wars — The entry states the outcome was inconclusive because both empires were later attacked by the Rashidun Caliphate, leading to the collapse of the Sasanian Empire and confinement of the Byzantine Empire to Anatolia and southeastern Europe; this is inaccurate bec

Roman–Persian wars — The DID YOU KNOW point that the Rashidun Caliphate's offensives confined the Byzantine Empire to Anatolia and southeastern Europe is factually inaccurate; the Byzantine Empire retained territories in Italy, the Balkans, and North Africa for centuries after the

Russo-Japanese War — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section incorrectly states Japan opened hostilities with a surprise attack on 9 February 1904, while the universally recognized start date is 8 February 1904.
