Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Outback — The claim that the Outback extends 'from the northern to southern coastlines' is misleading; while it covers vast inland areas, it does not typically include the entire coastal strip, and the southern coastline is often not considered Outback.

Outback — The population estimate of 607,000 is outdated or imprecise; the commonly cited figure for the Outback (as defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics for remote and very remote areas) is around 700,000 to 800,000, though exact numbers vary by definition.

Patagonia — The area_definition incorrectly includes the entire Chilean region of Los Lagos as part of Patagonia, whereas only the southern portion (e.g., the province of Palena) is typically considered Patagonian.

Patagonia — The area_definition contains a cut-off or incomplete sentence regarding Araucanía, which is not part of Patagonia, but the phrasing is erroneous as presented.

Pennsylvania — The entry states that William Penn proposed the name 'Pennsylvania' to honor his father, but in fact King Charles II named it Pennsylvania to honor Admiral William Penn, not at William Penn's proposal.

Polynesia — Most subsidence occurring by the late Cretaceous — Zealandia's subsidence was not mostly complete by the late Cretaceous; significant subsidence continued into the Cenozoic, with much of Zealandia becoming submerged in the Oligocene.

Oceania — [staleness sweep] contains time-sensitive marker (as of 2024) - verify against current source and re-date or remove
