Andrew Carnegie
The lead sentence is hopelessly redundant: "industrialist," "businessman," and "entrepreneur" all denote basically the same thing, so I have changed it to "steel magnate."

Roc-A-Fella Records
The word "businessman," as used in the sentence about John D. Rockefeller, is redundant: "magnate" encompasses "businessman," and thus, "businessman" isn't necessary.

Andrew Carnegie
You immigrate to a country, you emmigrate from a country: Carnegie and his parents immigrated to the United States.

The Love Guru
This is absolute nonsense. "The Love Guru" is not an "American/Canadian/British/German" film -- it is an American film. If anybody disagrees, they are a dope.

Dodger Stadium
"Los Angeles, California, United States"? How about "Los Angeles, California, United States, Earth"? Seriously, we don't need to be so specific when talking about global cities.

The Chancellor Manuscript
The claims about a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio and directed by Marc Forster are completely unsubstantiated and inappropriate in an encyclopedic context.

Craig Ferguson
"Scottish and American"? No. Ferguson is Scottish-American. Just because that format is abused to mean ethnicity (e.g., Conan O'Brien is Irish American) doesn't mean we shouldn't use it properly.

Craig Ferguson
Unlike many individuals to whom labels like "Scottish-American" are applied on this site, Craig Ferguson is actually Scottish-American: he was born in Scotland and immigrated to the US.

Eminem
A rapper is a kind of songwriter; therefore, it is redundant to say that Eminem is a songwriter in addition to a rapper.

Al Sharpton
"African-American" denotes an ethnicity. Since the lead sentence of a Wikipedia article usually refers to a person's nationality, we should simply say "American."

Clay Aiken
→Faith and philosophy: Any time you use quotation marks as they are used in the first sentence of this section, you are implying that what you are talking about is not what it is identified as.

Click (2006 film)
Although Although "Click" certainly contains elements of fantasy and science fiction, it is not a fantasy film and it is not a science-fiction film: it is simply a comedy film.

T. D. Jakes
If Jakes has said that he does not believe in or preach the prosperity gospel, how can we say that he subscribes to prosperity theology? I have deleted that second statement.

Eminem
Here's the deal: Wikipedia does not supersede Eminem.com in regard to authority over matters of Eminem's discography. "Infinite" is a studio album, but it does not belong in this list.
