Emil Kapaun
→External links: Good Thief episode is not about Kapaun, but about another chaplain. Even the Wayback page is now kaput. The FrKapaun.Org pages are about the cause for his canonization, and no need to have two of them. Military Times page kaput, found another (if somewhat different). Rearranged the links in order of biographical relevance.current

Pershing was not 1st in his Class, but 30th (https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Gazetteer/Places/America/United_States/Army/USMA/Cullums_Register/3126*.html)

Peter Lambeck
Flagged a meaningless sentence so that someone who knows more than I do can correct it to what is actually meant.current

Clemens Herschel
Three mistakes in one sentence! Frontinus was not the designer of the system, which was centuries old when he took charge of it; Frontinus didn't write the manuscript — on the contrary, the copyist was already copying a manuscript that was partly illegible and not by Frontinus either; and Herschel didn't 'find' (suggesting 'discover') the manuscript, which had been known since the 15c. Also, "1973" as a publication date for Herschel's book makes no sense.current

Roman aqueduct
De Aquis URLs have changed slightly. Also, no point in providing local links if they're not used. Corrected some small citation errors.

Aqua Tepula
1. De Aquis URLs have changed slightly. 2. added local links. 3. "castella divisorum" is not in Frontinus, and is probably bad Latin. 4. consistency: 2.68, not ii.68; and 5. citation #2 should be 2.8, not 1.8.current

Andrea Negroni
(a) The abbey is not now ruined; (b) the Britannica entry has nothing to say about Negroni, and only the barest mention of SS. Severo e Martirio.current

→External links: 1. Removed the Warring States Project item, no longer anywhere onsite at UMass; and put the 300 documents item before the 3-paragraph newspaper squib.
