Alfred Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Northcliffe — He had no legitimate children and no widely acknowledged illegitimate children in standard biographies.
Alfred Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Northcliffe — The claim that his barony was 'allegedly purchased' is not supported by established historical canon; peerages were not purchased in that manner.

Axel Springer — The entry says Springer 'obtained a license from British occupation authorities to run a newspaper' after the war. In fact, the British authorities initially denied him a license; he obtained one later, in 1946, after some delay and only for a magazine (Hörzu)
B. C. Forbes — The entry states that Forbes worked on the Rand Daily Mail under its first editor, Edgar Wallace, but Edgar Wallace was not the first editor, and Forbes had left South Africa before Wallace became editor.
B. C. Forbes — The entry says Forbes's body was returned to Scotland in 1988 and buried in New Deer Churchyard, but Forbes died in 1954 and was buried in New York; his remains were not moved to Scotland in 1988.
Bob Guccione — Guccione was born in Bergenfield, New Jersey, not Brooklyn, New York.

Conrad Black — The entry states Black was invested as a Knight Commander of the Order of St. Gregory the Great in 2001, but the correct year is 2002.

E. W. Scripps (businessman) — The entry states Scripps died aboard his yacht Ohio in Monrovay Bay, Liberia, but 'Monrovia Bay' is not a standard geographic name; the correct location is Monrovia harbor or off the coast of Monrovia.
E. W. Scripps (businessman) — The entry says Scripps often signed his middle name as 'Wyllis', but the widely accepted spelling is Willis.
Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor — The entry states Grosvenor was a second cousin to U.S. President and Supreme Court Justice William Howard Taft, but he was actually a second cousin to Helen Herron Taft.
Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor — The entry states Grosvenor helped draft the Organic Act that created the National Park Service, but primary drafting is credited to others such as Stephen Mather and Horace Albright.
