Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Green Day — The game does not include the full album Dookie; only selected songs from Dookie are present.

Queen — The entry states 'One more album was released featuring Mercury's vocals, 199' which is incomplete and inaccurate; the album 'Made in Heaven' was released in 1995, not 199, and it was the final album featuring Mercury's vocals.

Queen — The entry says 'Mercury was diagnosed with AIDS in 1987' but this is not definitively confirmed by widely accepted canon; the exact year of diagnosis is not publicly known, though it is often speculated to be around 1987, but stating it as fact is inaccurate.

Rock Band Forums — The claim that 'Harmonix released new DLC for Rock Band until the final release on January 25, 2024' is misleading because it implies ongoing DLC for the entire franchise, but the final DLC was only for Rock Band 4.

Fender Stratocaster — The claim that nearly a quarter of all Fender Stratocasters manufactured between 1954 and 1979 were made in a single year, 1979, is factually incorrect based on Fender production records.

Fender Stratocaster — [contradicted] Contrary to some claims, Fender production records show that no single year between 1954 and 1979 accounted for nearly a quarter of all Stratocasters manufactured during that period. :: Between the years 1954 and 1979, nearly a quarter of the Fe
