Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Sly Cooper — Sly's father is named Slytunkhamen Cooper in the entry, but the correct canon name is Sly Cooper (often referred to as Sly Sr. or simply Sly's father); 'Slytunkhamen' is not a canon name.

Sly Cooper — The entry states Sly's father was killed by Clockwerk, but in canon, Sly's father was killed by the Fiendish Five (specifically, Clockwerk was the leader, but the murder was carried out by the group, not solely by Clockwerk as an individual act).

Murray — Murray was a childhood friend of Sly and Bentley growing up in an orphanage; they met after Sly left the orphanage is incorrect. In canon, Murray, Sly, and Bentley all grew up together at the same orphanage (as shown in flashbacks in Sly 2 and Sly 3).

Murray — In Sly 2: Band of Thieves, he temporarily leaves the team on a soul-searching journey is incorrect. Murray does not leave the team in Sly 2; he leaves temporarily in Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves to find himself and returns later in the game.

Carmelita Fox — The first encounter with Sly Cooper is not in 'The Parisian Backstreets' level; it occurs in the introductory cutscene of Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, but the level is officially named 'A Stealthy Approach', not 'The Parisian Backstreets'.

Carmelita Fox — The key is not called the 'Cooper Vault key' in canon; it is simply referred to as the key to the Cooper Vault, and 'Cooper Vault key' is not an official term.

Clockwerk — Clockwerk is the primary antagonist of the original Sly Cooper trilogy — this is inaccurate; Clockwerk is the primary antagonist of the first game only, not the entire trilogy.

Clockwerk — In Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves, his eyes are used by Dr. M to power his machine, though there is no canonical evidence that they inherently corrupt their possessor — this is inaccurate; the games explicitly show that the Clockwerk eyes do corrupt their possesso

Thievius Raccoonus — The entry states the Thievius Raccoonus was 'stolen and then destroyed by Arpeggio in Sly 2 (with only one page saved)'. In Sly 2, Arpeggio steals the book but does not destroy it; it is later destroyed by Clock-La, and only one page is saved by Bentley.

Thievius Raccoonus — The entry states the book was 'burned by Dr. M in Sly 3'. In Sly 3, Dr. M does not burn the book; he steals it and uses it in a machine, and it is recovered intact.

Bentley (hacker character) — The permanent wheelchair use is caused by Clockwerk's talon crushing his legs, not the chandelier.

Grapple Hook — The claim that the Grapple Hook 'cannot be upgraded to increase its pulling strength' in Sly 3 is factually incorrect, as the 'Stronger Hook' upgrade exists.

Cane of the Cooper Clan — The claim that the cane's theft by the Klaww Gang drives the plot of Sly 2: Band of Thieves is incorrect; the Klaww Gang steals the Thievius Raccoonus, not the cane.

Cane of the Cooper Clan — The claim that the cane is used to access the Cooper Vault in Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves is inaccurate; the vault requires the Cooper family crest and ancestors' spirits, not the cane as a key.
