Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Italo Svevo — Svevo did not convert to Catholicism at his wife's urging; he converted in 1897 primarily for social and business reasons, and there is no widely accepted evidence that Livia urged him to do so.

Italo Svevo — The claim that Svevo lived in Charlton, south-east London for part of his life is misleading; he lived there only for a few months in 1901-1902.

Jaroslav Hašek — The entry states Hašek's father died of cancer, but established canon says Josef Hašek died of tuberculosis (or complications from alcoholism), not cancer.

Jaroslav Hašek — The entry says Hašek was diagnosed with a heart defect at age four; this is not a widely confirmed fact in standard biographies and may be invented or exaggerated.
