Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Robert Rayford — The entry says Rayford 'checked himself into City Hospital' and 'admitted himself to City Hospital,' but historical accounts indicate he was admitted by his mother or guardian as a minor.

Robert Wadlow — The entry states Wadlow appeared in the center ring and never in the sideshow during his 1936 Ringling Brothers Circus tour, but he actually appeared in the sideshow.

Rodney King — The car was a 1988 Hyundai Excel, but historical records state it was a 1987 Hyundai Excel.
