I suggest you PM them about it.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"

I just remembered this, or I would have added it yesterday, but troper Divra
added an example to Badass Princess that was chock-full of factual inaccuracies.
From the Honor Harrington series:
In order, the mistakes are: 1. Abigail is a brunette, not a blonde. 2. Her proper title is Miss Owens, not Lady Owens. 3. Grayson women aren't traditionally cloistered - that's Masada. 4. She studied every hard science course she could get her hands on, not just maths and engineering. 5. Abigail was all of nine when Grayson opened up to the wider universe. By the time she got to Saganami Island, Grayson officers had been serving in the Royal Manticoran Navy for a decade already and Grayson was the second-best space navy in the sector and probably the universe. 6. She wasn't sent to Officer Training School, she was sent to the naval academy. The two are different things. 7. She didn't take the Advanced Tactical Course while she was there, and hasn't yet taken it at all, as it's for already-commissioned officers on the track to independent command. Abigail's still too junior for The Crusher. 8. She graduated eleventh in a class of eleven thousand, and sixth in the tactical curriculum. 9. She's currently serving as a Tactical Officer, not a Gunnery Officer (there is no such thing as the latter in the Honorverse). 10. She's not a missile tech, that's an entirely different speciality.
I'm not sure if all the troper's examples are this bad or if this was a one-off - I'm not familiar with any of their other fandoms - but examples this inaccurate shouldn't be allowed IMHO. I did fix it on the page, but figured I ought to give you a heads-up.
