"Plenty more fish in the sea" (Observer Magazine) was wrong to state that: "Norwegians continue to conduct 'scientific whaling' for research purposes." Japan conducts what it calls "scientific whaling"; Norway lodged an objection at the International Whaling Commission to a whaling moratorium and is open about conducting a managed commercial hunt, with an assessment of the whale population and a set quota. It does not describe this as "scientific whaling".

Wageningen University is in the Netherlands, not Belgium ("Eat insects to save the world", News).

"Forget shelf life, the best titles have an afterlife" (Books) said incorrectly that Anne Frank was Dutch. She was German. The Franks left Germany shortly after Hitler came to power and settled in Amsterdam. Anne Frank certainly wished to become a Dutch citizen, noting: "... and even if I have to write to the Queen herself I'll never give up until I have reached my goal!" Sadly, she never got to write that letter.

It was Elizabeth Barrett Browning in Sonnet 43 of the From the Portuguese series, who asked: "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways," ("Keep it clean", Editorial), not Shakespeare.
