Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

African Methodist Episcopal Church — The claim that the AME Church was 'the largest African-American Methodist denomination' by 1906 is inaccurate; it was roughly tied with the AME Zion Church at about 500,000 members each.

African Methodist Episcopal Church — The claim that Denmark Vesey was brought from Bermuda as a slave is incorrect; he was brought from St. Thomas (a Danish colony).

Amish — The claim that the term 'Amish' was first used as a term of disgrace in 1710 is not reliably established; the earliest known written use is from 1711 or later.

Amish — The claim that 'approximately 500 Amish migrated to North America between 1717 and 1750' is not precisely supported; estimates vary and the exact figure is uncertain.

Archbishop of Canterbury — The 'living_former_archbishops_as_of_2026' list omits Justin Welby, who would be a living former archbishop as of 2026.
