Oxyrhynchus Papyri
→Historiography: The Aristotelian 'Constitution of the Athenians' was not discovered at Oxyrhynchos, nor is it connected to Grenfell and Hunt's excavations; the earlier leaves were found in the Faiyum in 1879 and E. A. Wallis Budge acquired the set of rolls known as British Library Papyrus 131, bearing the nearly complete text of the treatise, for the British Museum off the antiquities market in 1890, six years before Grenfell and Hunt began their excavations.

Lauren Boebert
→LGBT issues: "Sex-change treatments" is not a very accurate phrase to use in this context and the wikilink to
sex reassignment surgery is blatantly misleading, since no one is performing any gender-affirming surgeries on minors and there is no federal funding for research into such a thing. The accurate phrase to use here is "
gender-affirming care," which encompasses the kinds of care that exist for trans minors as well as those that exist for adults.

Sosigenes (astronomer)
No ancient source ever calls Sosigenes an Alexandrian and the claim that he was from Alexandria is pure speculation. See this post by Peter Gainsford, which explicitly calls out this Wikipedia article for promoting this speculation as though it were fact: http://kiwihellenist.blogspot.com/2022/05/julian-calendar.html

Bull of Heaven
Leaving note to future editors to tell them not to change this article to equate the Bull of Heaven with Gugalanna, the husband of Ereshkigal, since this equation is at best highly dubious and is not generally endorsed in recent scholarship.
