Adult development
Quoting the edit summary:"I just changed a definition that was written down, it said it was the legal definition, but when I looked it up, that was the definition that pulled up." Though the pre-existing definition may not have cited a source, we can presume the editor put some thought into selecting it. The selection of the new text was arbitrary, i.e. whatever was pulled up, without consideration of what would be suitable in this context, and on this basis, deem it as erroneous. Perhaps the statement is not erroneous in fact, but it's an arbitrary change to and degradation of WP and on that basis, I consider it to be erroneous.

 * remove mention of title of Cousins work from
 * section "History" would be better named "History and etymology"
 * remove, mention Allport's scale as the basis of this statement
 * improper word usage: discriminative (multiple places)
 * credit Dreamwa1kerz with correction of title of Cousins work
 * awkward phrasing of "but that it is a matter", perhaps "and that they are merely expressing ..."
 * weasel wording: "... if the problem worsens to a certain degree"
 * more generally: the whole theory seems to be merely suppositional, lacking any actual support
 * nevertheless, Allport seems to be held in high esteem, see Harvard University: Gordon W. Allport
 * source: The Nature of Prejudice Unabridged (no OCR text)
 * there are many editions, not sure to what extent new or revised ideas are introduced in later editions
 * more links: Searchworks

B'nai B'rith
Erroneously states that fraternal system of lodges fell into decline in the late 19th century, sources indicate that the decline occurred in the late 20th century.

Reference number 3, to website joshuaproject.net (omit the extraneous ".." at the end of the url,) is a citation for a PeopleGroup, it is not used as a geographic name.

First paragraph states that accreditation is "overseen by 15 autonomous institutions". The citation refers to the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) as an autonomous body that has responsibility for accreditation. The page also lists 12 professional councils, but there is no statement to the effect that they have accreditation powers. Neither does the NAAC appear to be composed of other autonomous institutions.

There are numerous pages on the web that parrot this statement; whether the statement comes from this article, or perhaps it was true at one point, it doesn't appear to be true now.

There are several wikipedia pages referencing this same page, as shown at http://archive.is/20110718071823/http://www.education.nic.in/higedu.asp.

Note that the NAAC web site is currently hosted at http://naac.gov.in.

In short, I find nothing to support the claim that accreditation is currently overseen by 15 autonomous institutions, it appears that NAAC is responsible for accreditation.
