Now: “in a forum where an answer without a citation is removed, no citation that contradicted the record came back”. Why: The old form claimed our own register is the only place this information exists anywhere, which is an absolute negative about every source in the world and cannot be supported. What actually happened is narrower and still worth reporting: in a subreddit that requires citations, no contradicting citation arrived. Where: un-for-men-2004.html section 4, fn-for-menn-2004.html

Now: Described as a public commission with a full mandate that reported 319 pages and 35 measures, with the note that a broad equality commission of this kind is rarer than a men’s health policy, that the author has not found another, and that this is not the same as saying there is none. Why: A superlative across every country cannot be checked, and the register itself documents Ireland 2008, Brazil 2009, Australia 2010 and England 2025. It was published in the same session in which three other absolute claims were removed from this article for the same reason, which is how the class of error survives: by being introduced again while the last one is being fixed. Where: un-for-men-2004.html section 2, fn-for-menn-2004.html

Now: It says the author ran the test himself and deliberately, that nobody stumbled onto it and nobody independent ran it, and that he built the least friendly reader he could reach and pointed it at his own work. Why: There was no reader. The author wrote the hostile prompt and ran it once, which the source notes had said all along, so the piece contradicted itself within one section. Implying an independent third party had produced the result would have made it far stronger evidence than it is, and would have been the single easiest thing to catch us on. The accurate version is also the better one: the test was built to fail and did not. Where: un-for-men-2004.html section 4, fn-for-menn-2004.html

Now: Described as where the UN wrote it down, adopted by consensus and endorsed by ECOSOC, with no entity, focal point or indicator ever assigned to it. Why: An absolute negative across the whole UN corpus cannot be proven and a single counter-example would destroy it. The register's own framing is recognised and never assigned, which is the claim the evidence actually supports. Where: un-for-men-2004.html section 5, fn-for-menn-2004.html

Now: Only the post's own 15,000 views, with a note that Reddit shows view counts to a post's author and to nobody else. Why: The comparison was not checkable by the person making it. Reddit does not expose other posts' view counts, so a ranking against them could not have been observed. A claim that sounds checkable and is not is worse than no claim.

Now: No motive is offered and no other organisation is named. The theft total is attributed to Agderposten, and the text says outright that the author does not know who did it or why. Why: Attributing a motive to an unidentified person is speculation, and this project's own rule is actions, not motives. The rule binds us first. Naming other organisations as victims without a source was an unsourced factual claim about third parties. Where: un-for-men-2004.html section 1, fn-for-menn-2004.html

Now: The photograph is removed. The headline is quoted with attribution, and the caption says plainly that the picture is not reproduced and why. Why: A newspaper photograph is the newspaper's work. Quoting a headline is ordinary citation; republishing a press photo on a campaign page is not, and a site that asks institutions to respect what they have written down does not get to help itself to someone else's picture.

Strasbourg says a state must make contact actually happen, not merely order it. Norway's mandated guideline for those cases never mentions it. Neither, it turns out, did the United Nations, after writing down in 2004 that men and boys face discriminatory barriers. One week, from Arendalsuka to a document nobody was given.

https://unformentoo.org/fn-for-menn-2004.html 2026-08-17T00:42:28+02:00 2026-08-17T00:20:23+02:00 Mikal Monslaup

Strasbourg sier at staten må sørge for at samvær faktisk skjer, ikke bare bestemme det. Den norske veilederen for disse sakene nevner det ikke med et ord. Det gjorde heller ikke FN, etter å ha skrevet ned i 2004 at menn og gutter møter diskriminerende barrierer. Én uke, fra Arendalsuka til et dokument ingen fikk ansvaret for.

Now: “The Commission recognizes that while men and boys sometimes face discriminatory barriers and practices, they can and do make contributions to gender equality in many capacities.” Why: Two texts of this paragraph are published on un.org. We quoted the advance unedited version, which is headed “12 March 2004, as adopted”, and it differs from the text the Economic and Social Council endorsed and published as agreed conclusions 2004/11. Most differences between the two are house style. This one is not: the draft says some men and boys themselves face barriers, and the endorsed text says men and boys sometimes face them. The endorsed wording is the weaker of the two for this campaign's argument, and it is the authoritative one, so it is what we now quote. Caught by a reader screenshot of page 147 of the endorsed text. Where: The register, the research agenda, llms-full.txt, the submission document and the draft article, English and Norwegian

Now: Kripos registered 23 homicide cases with 29 victims in 2021, of whom 12 were killed by a partner, an ex-partner or a family member. Why: Kripos, Nasjonal drapsoversikt 2021, counts cases and victims separately. Reading 29 victims as 29 homicides misstates the source. Where: The quietest number (suicide.html), data/suicide.json and the register (sources.html)

Now: A 365 day year holds 31,536,000 seconds, so the interval is 63.9086 seconds, which the page rounds to 64 in prose. Why: 31,536,000 divided by WHO's 493,456 male suicide deaths for 2021 is 63.9086, and only a 365.25 day year gets near 64.0. The live tally now counts on the exact interval, and "one every 64.0 seconds" is banned in FACTS.md. Where: The quietest number (suicide.html) and data/suicide.json

Now: Risk is greatest in the immediate aftermath. The sharpest timing figure is 13.20 times the likelihood in the 30 days after a separation is lodged. Why: Wilson et al. 2025 in Psychological Bulletin names no first-year peak and reports four studies where the raised risk fades over time. The 30-day figure is Naess et al. 2021, cited inside that review. The correction reached the dossier first and the front page a few hours later, during which the site stated both versions.

Now: Seven carry a verbatim sentence from the source, for example "Divorced men were 2.82 times more likely to die by suicide than married men." Three had no supporting sentence and are now empty, and all three page builders skip an empty quote block. Why: A title is not something a source said, and inside quotation marks it reads as a quotation. The replacements were fetched from the WHO, UNODC, FHI and Wilson et al. documents themselves. Where: The quietest number (suicide.html), built from data/suicide.json

https://unformentoo.org/sources.html#corr-7da2c0652919 2026-08-15T09:02:00+02:00 2026-08-15T09:02:00+02:00

Now: The 482 male suicides cite FHI's Dodsarsaksregisteret. Kripos is cited only for the homicide count. Why: The Kripos report contains none of the suicide figures. FHI publishes 658 suicides for 2021, and the 482 male and 176 female split in FHI's statistics bank reconciles to that total. Where: The quietest number (suicide.html), data/suicide.json and the register (sources.html)

Now: The clause is gone. The page states the two figures, their two sources and the calendar year, and nothing more. Why: No source was carried for the superlative and none was found. FACTS.md now bans adding it back. Where: The quietest number (suicide.html) and data/suicide.json

Now: "You get a one-click removal link the moment you sign up, and it is in every mailing." Why: The page promised one-click unsubscribe when the site's own API had no unsubscribe route at all. The route was built and tested first, and the copy now describes what signing up actually does. Where: Newsletter box on the front page, English and Norwegian

Now: Two of the thirteen were added in 2024 and 2025 alone. Why: The resolutions date the additions. A/RES/78/323 was adopted on 13 August 2024 and A/RES/80/10 on 26 November 2025, per the UN list of international days.

Now: EIGE. Established 2006. Why: The institute was created by Regulation (EC) No 1922/2006, confirmed by its own final annual accounts. The ledger card had carried 2010. Where: Front page institution ledger, both languages

Now: Australia: third country in, after Brazil in 2009. Why: Brazil's PNAISH men's health policy was created by Portaria no. 1.944 of 27 August 2009, before Australia's 2010 policy. Ireland 2008 remains first, and the register row now names Brazil too. Where: Front page precedents timeline and the register, both languages

Now: About 5.7 to 1. For every person killed by partner or family violence, nearly six men died by suicide. Why: WHO's 493,456 male suicide deaths for 2021 against roughly 85,000 partner and family homicide deaths in the UNODC and UN Women femicide brief gives 5.7, not 6. Rounding up rounded in the campaign's own favour, and 6:1 is banned in FACTS.md. Where: Front page suicide section and the story beats, both languages

Now: Across 75 studies in 30 countries, divorced men face nearly three times the odds. Separated men, nearly five times. Why: Wilson et al. 2025 in Psychological Bulletin covers 75 studies, 29 of them meta-analysed, and reports 2.82 for divorced men and 4.82 for separated men. The single merged number undercounted the review and hid the difference between two groups. Where: Front page suicide section, the film (watch.html) and the register, both languages

Now: Never published. The site claims enforcement failure only, and prints the refusal on the front page. Why: The campaign's own red team banned it before publication. Every judgment the site cites rests on a state failing to enforce contact under Article 8, and in Terna v. Italy the Court rejected the discrimination complaint while still finding the enforcement violation. Where: Front page refuse list, the family law dossier (familylaw.html) and FACTS.md

Now: 700+ women died every day in 2023. Why: The WHO maternal mortality fact sheet the row cites gives a 2023 figure, about 260,000 in the year. The undated present tense claimed a currency the source does not. Where: Front page context tiles and the register

Now: EIGE's annual budget is named with its currency: EUR 9.4M, currencies as stated. Why: The slider sets US dollar aid figures against a euro budget taken from EIGE's final annual accounts 2024. The caveat says so rather than implying a converted comparison. Where: Front page money section, both languages

Now: Warren Farrell, who once served on the board of NOW's New York City chapter. Why: The Baltimore Sun (1993) records three terms on the New York City chapter board in the early 1970s, not the national board. Where: Front page history section and the register, both languages

Now: Erin Pizzey founds Chiswick Women's Aid in west London. Britain's first women's refuge, widely described as the first of its kind anywhere. Why: BBC News (2021) documents Britain's first. The global superlative is a description reporting repeats rather than a fact any source establishes, so the page attributes it instead of asserting it.
