Long-standing errors I've found and fixed (also, a reminder we still have a way to go)[edit]
- Glycolysis does not produce FADH2, but the lead of Glycolysis said it did for nearly 5 months, and the error was viewed ~250,000 times.
- Glycerophospholipids are not "almost exclusive to plant and animal cell membranes", but Glycerophospholipid said they were for nearly 2 years, and the error was viewed ~150,000 times.
- T cells cannot also be called "thymocytes", but the lead of T cell said they could be for over 5 months, and the error was viewed ~250,000 times.
- Protein-coding genes comprise ~28% of the human genome, but C-value enigma said ~1.5% for 5.5 years, and the error was viewed ~100,000 times.
- Pyruvate carboxylase is present in muscle, but the lead of Pyruvate carboxylase said it wasn't for over 7 years, and the error was viewed >150,000 times.
- Cyclic photophosphorylation does not involve photosystem II, but Photophosphorylation said it did for over 6 months, and the error was viewed ~50,000 times.
- Water potential is not the opposite of osmotic potential, but the lead of Osmotic pressure said it was for 6.5 years, and the error was viewed ~2,000,000 times.
- Transposons are not "primarily prokaryotic", but we classified them thus for nearly 3 years in a NavBox transcluded in 17 articles.
- This is not a type II survivorship curve, but Survivorship curve said it was for nearly 5 years, and the error was viewed >200,000 times.
- Endothermic process was vandalised to give "cooling ice" as an example, and the error persisted for nearly 4 months and was viewed ~50,000 times.
- Humans do not produce 50% male offspring, but Y chromosome said they did for over 20 months, and the error was viewed >400,000 times.
- And the winner is...
- These two images incorrectly included CO as one of the gases in the Miller-Urey experiment, and the error stood for nearly 7 years, was viewed >1,000,000 times on the English Wikipedia, and propagated to 25 other language Wikipedias.
