To understand
Analogy
Picture exam papers handed back crossed out by the marker: the answer given does not stand.
What it changes
This batch keeps a record of the claims the wiki judges wrong: an incorrect proof, an incorrect conditional proof or an incorrect claim. It gives a fuller picture of AI results on these problems, failures included.
What remains unclear
The sources read do not detail, problem by problem, which error was found. The wiki has not been updated since 30 June 2026.

Method
The batch gathers the wiki's red rows for problems 7, 11, 51, 233, 388, 411, 616, 647, 848, 888 and 1044: “Incorrect proof found” for most, “Incorrect claim made” for 11 and 1044, “Incorrect (conditional) proof found” for 233. The rows run from 5 January to 2 May 2026; those for 7, 388, 411 and 848 come from human contributions with AI. Status “withdrawn” recorded on 18 October 2026 from github.com (page read, quotation checked word for word). History: 2 dated observations, oldest first.
Limits
The status may change if a new source is published; the dated history stays visible.

The numbers link the band (order of observations) and the thread (most recent first). Band segments have equal widths, not a time scale.
