The Internet Accuracy Project is an interesting spot to peruse now and then. It specializes in setting the record straight for a variety of reference sources, including encyclopedias. It also has info on when celebrities married, their deaths, family members and so on. (I wish more celebs were included -- the list is pretty sparse here -- but I appreciate the references, so at least you generally know where the website is getting its corrections info from.)
As it points out, we all can make mistakes. The project's aim is not to denigrate those sites that "goofed up," but simply to stay accurate. An admirable cause.
I also found its 'spring planting' and 'high/low record temps' charts very interesting. (Colorado's lowest temp happened in 1985 at Maybell, a favorite hunting spot of Husband and his cronies!) Other helpful charts include things like mail and calendar holidays. Take a look.
