This site against Wikipedia, both ways

Kept by incident.wikipedia@web-summit.dinis, 11 November 2026, 11:54 UTC (written by tools/wikipedia-claims.mjs from claims-curated.json and the revisions named below)

For each Wikipedia claim: the row of our timeline that says the same (by its permanent id), the data file that holds it, or that it is missing here. Then the reverse: for each of our key facts, whether Wikipedia has it, since which revision, and citing whom. Data: against.json. Every relation is our analysis of two bodies of evidence.

Revisions read: pt: Depressão Charles, revision 73422228 of 11 Nov, 11:49 UTC; en: 2026–27 European windstorm season, revision 1384965581 of 11 Nov, 02:22 UTC; zh: 2026—2027年歐洲風暴季, revision 95527097 of 11 Nov, 08:45 UTC. Wikipedia's text is by Wikipedia's contributors, CC BY-SA 4.0; the statements below are our English paraphrase. Wikipedia is evidence here, never a fact. Not a warning service: follow IPMA and ANEPC.

Where Wikipedia is ahead of us

Nowhere on this site (35 claims):

• Communiqué no. 1 forecast the centre near 34° N, 23° W, north of Madeira, at 00:00 UTC on 11 November, with a central pressure of 991 hPa. (w-pt-02; IPMA) We hold the text of communiqué no. 2 only (data/weather/communiques.json); the first communiqué's position and pressure are not on this site.
• Spain's AEMET described the system as a low of subtropical origin whose approach would worsen the weather over the Iberian Peninsula. (w-pt-03; Cadena SER) Nothing on this site about the low's origin.
• For Madeira, IPMA forecast worsening from late 10 November to the morning of 11 November: persistent rain locally above 100 mm in 12 hours, south-west gusts of 80 to 100 km/h and up to 130 km/h on high ground, waves of 3.5 to 4.5 m on the south coast. (w-pt-04; IPMA) Communiqué no. 1's Madeira figures are not on this site; no. 2's are (communiques.json).
• On 9 November Porto Santo Line cancelled the 08:00 and 18:00 sailings between Funchal and Porto Santo on 11 November and put on extra sailings on 10 November. (w-pt-09; Diário de Notícias da Madeira)
• On 10 November Madeira's forests institute closed all classified walking routes for the whole of 11 November, and the forest road between Eira do Serrado and Pico do Areeiro. (w-pt-10; Diário de Notícias da Madeira)
• On 10 November TAP cancelled ten flights to and from Madeira: every Lisbon and Porto link between 00:00 and 12:00 on 11 November. (w-pt-13; Diário de Notícias da Madeira) We have ANA's notice that operations would be affected, not TAP's count.
• Madeira's fisheries directorate closed all fish markets and cold stores from 16:30 on 10 November to 12:00 the next day; Funchal suspended waste collection and closed its cultural venues from 16:00 to 13:00; the health service suspended non-urgent appointments until 12:00; the bus company suspended seven routes until 13:00. (w-pt-14; Diário de Notícias da Madeira)
• Madeira's courts were closed for the whole of 11 November by order of the presiding judge, postponing 34 trials. (w-pt-15; Diário de Notícias da Madeira) The article names the judge; we do not repeat the name.
• On 10 November IPMA extended the red rain warning to Madeira's north coast, putting the whole island at the highest level until 06:00 on 11 November; Porto Santo stayed orange. (w-pt-16; Diário de Notícias da Madeira)
• The environment agency (APA) identified 101 mainland municipalities at higher risk of floods and urban flooding; its president pointed to urban areas of the Algarve, the Oeste and the Centro. (w-pt-23; RTP Antena 1) Not on this site in any file.
• AEMET forecast worse weather over the Iberian Peninsula as Charles approached on 11 November, on top of Bruna: heavy rain, strong wind and rough seas, mostly in the south and west of Spain. (w-pt-30; RTVE)
• The red rain warnings of 10 November in Cáceres and Ávila were tied mainly to Bruna's fronts, before Charles arrived. (w-pt-31; El País)
• By 21:00 on 10 November IPMA's station at Chão do Areeiro had measured 47.6 mm in one hour and 91.7 mm in six, above the red thresholds for both; 13 of IPMA's 18 stations on the island were at some warning level. (w-pt-32; Diário de Notícias da Madeira)
• In Machico a street by the marina was closed after a flood and a landslide partly blocked it. (w-pt-35; Diário de Notícias da Madeira)
• On the morning of 11 November the assistant commander of Madeira's regional civil protection said that, on the weather information available, the storm's most intense period had passed Madeira; the system passed further south of the island and weaker than first forecast; the streams' flows, up overnight, were back to normal, with the rescue services still mobilised. (w-pt-38; Diário de Notícias da Madeira) Not on this site as a statement by Madeira's civil protection. Our row s-1111T0822 holds an analysis (a hypothesis) that the centre passed close to Madeira airport between about 07:30 and 08:00: a different statement, not checked against this one. The article names the officer; our claim gives the role. This is about Madeira; it is not IPMA's statement of 22:35 on the mainland track (s-1110T2235), which the article's text still lacks.
• In the balance given on the morning of 11 November, the president of Madeira's regional government spoke of 479 mm of rain in 12 hours during the storm, against 387 mm in the same reference period in the flood of 20 February 2010; the heaviest rain came at high tide, which slowed the streams' drainage. (w-pt-40; Diário de Notícias da Madeira) Not on this site. The 479 mm is a figure quoted from a press conference by the regional daily, with no station named; it is above the 355 mm in 12 hours the same article gives for Chão do Areeiro to 04:00.
• On the morning of 11 November a man of 78 was swept away when a stream overflowed in São Roque, Funchal; first given as missing, he was rescued alive near 08:00 by volunteer firefighters with the police, with signs of hypothermia and no serious injury (two footnotes: the regional public broadcaster and the regional daily). (w-pt-41; RTP Madeira, Diário de Notícias da Madeira) Not on this site. A private person, not named by Wikipedia or by us.
• In Serra de Água (Ribeira Brava) three families had to leave their homes after a stream overflowed and flooded four houses when a culvert was blocked; the mayor confirmed they went to relatives and that nobody was hurt. The same revisions add: five incidents on Porto Santo confirmed by its council; the parish council's offices in Machico flooded to about one metre; power cuts in Santa Cruz, Machico and Santana after a high-voltage cable fell; roads closed in Machico and Porto Moniz. (w-pt-43; Diário de Notícias da Madeira) None of these is on this site. Each has one footnote, the regional daily.
• On 10 November the Government of the Canary Islands activated its highest alert level for wind on La Palma and the high ground of Tenerife, from 00:00 on 11 November, with alerts for rough seas and rain and preventive measures against floods and landslides; AEMET issued a red wind warning for La Palma for the morning of 11 November (two footnotes: the Canary Islands government's own notice, and a Spanish online daily). (w-pt-44; www3.gobiernodecanarias.org, elDiario.es) Not on this site. The first footnote is the deciding body's own notice, which is rare in this article; neither it nor AEMET's warning was read by us.
• A new section, Spain (added at 10:17 UTC on 11 November): on the morning of 11 November the Canary Islands' public television reported gusts up to 162 km/h at Santa Cruz de La Palma and over 130 km/h at Izaña, Tenerife; three roads closed on La Palma; a fault on a power line at 07:12 cut supply to 17,622 customers in three municipalities, restored at 07:34; a ferry operator cancelled several crossings; fallen trees closed roads on Gran Canaria. (w-pt-45; Radio Televisión Canaria) Not on this site: the Canary Islands are outside what this timeline follows. One footnote, the islands' public broadcaster; the hours are presumably local time (the article does not say).
• The storm began as a non-tropical low over the western subtropical Atlantic, formed on a weakening front a few hundred miles south of Bermuda in early November. (w-en-01; ClickOrlando)
• The US National Hurricane Center began following it in its outlooks on 3 November, at a 10% chance of development within 48 hours and 30% within seven days. (w-en-02; ClickOrlando)
• By 6 November the Center had lowered both chances to 20%, saying the low might only briefly become subtropical before another low absorbed it. (w-en-03; Yahoo News)
• On 7 November the Center's outlook labelled the low Invest 94L, several hundred miles south-south-east of Bermuda. (w-en-04; Index-Journal) A hidden note left in the wikitext by an editor says the sources do not state that 94L became Charles and asks for it to be checked. Wikipedia itself marks this as unverified.
• Meteored said Charles kept its subtropical origins as it crossed the Atlantic under the subtropical jet, leaving heavy rain from near Bermuda onward. (w-en-05; Meteored España)
• AEMET described Charles as a small but deep low expected to cross Spain quickly with very heavy rain and strong winds, its track uncertain. (w-en-07; Infobae)
• In Spain a red rain warning ran on 10 November from 09:00 to 23:59 local time in the north of Cáceres and the south of Ávila, with up to 120 mm in 12 hours forecast. (w-en-15; Estrella Digital, sextaNoticias, via Headtopics)
• Castile and León suspended school and imposed its strictest limits on movement in 32 municipalities in the south of Ávila, home to about 49,000 people. (w-en-16; Vozpópuli)
• Charles was expected to enter the peninsula, probably through Portugal, on 11 November, and to weaken from 12 November as it moved north-east. (w-en-18; Estrella Digital) We publish no statement about what follows landfall beyond IPMA's and the airport forecast's hours.
• The Government of the Canary Islands declared a wind alert for the whole archipelago from 18:00 local time on 10 November. (w-en-19; Mirametv)
• AEMET forecast orange wind warnings on all eight islands on 11 November, with gusts that could pass 130 km/h on La Palma and Tenerife. (w-en-20; Mirametv)
• The infobox lists the areas affected as Portugal (with Madeira), Spain (with the Canary Islands), France and Italy, and the duration as 9 November to the present. (w-en-21; no footnote) France and Italy have no footnote and no sentence in the section. This site covers Lisbon.
• The 'Impacts' heading of the English section is empty. (w-en-22; no footnote) Nothing to match: no claim is made.
• The Chinese infobox gives a lowest pressure of 994 hPa (995 hPa until the revision of 08:28 UTC on 11 November; the season table gained the same 994 hPa at 08:45). (w-zh-01; no footnote) No footnote, before or after the change from 995. Our analysis quotes a model's forecast minimum (986.7 hPa, met.no, a hypothesis row: s-1111T0000); nobody has published a measured minimum that we have read.
• The Chinese infobox lists Portugal, Spain (with the Canary Islands), France and Italy as affected. (w-zh-03; no footnote) As the English infobox; no footnote.

In our data, but with no timeline row (12 claims):

• Communiqué no. 2: Madeira gusts up to 140 km/h on high ground and south-coast waves of four to five metres; on the mainland gusts of 100 to 120 km/h, locally 140, rain that could pass 100 mm in 24 hours, and south of Cabo Raso waves of five to seven metres, the highest single wave up to 13 metres. (w-pt-07) Ours: incidents/2026-11-10-storm-charles/data/weather/communiques.json. In our copy of the communiqué's text.
• On 10 November IPMA raised to red the rain warning for Madeira's south coast and mountains, from 21:00 that day to 06:00 on 11 November, and issued a red wind warning for the mountains from 00:00 to 06:00. (w-pt-08) Ours: ipma-madeira-red at 2026-11-10T07:24Z. The decision graph has it, with IPMA's send time (07:24 UTC), which Wikipedia does not give.
• The regional government closed Madeira's schools for the morning of 11 November, reopening at 13:00. (w-pt-11) Ours: madeira-schools at 2026-11-10T11:26Z.
• The ports authority said three cruise ships cancelled their calls at Funchal on 11 November; six calls had been cancelled over the previous days, counting Bruna. (w-pt-12) Ours: apram-cruises at 2026-11-10T12:33Z.
• Rede Expressos suspended all its coach services on 11 November from 10:00 to 23:59, with automatic refunds. (w-pt-21) Ours: rede-expressos-suspends at 2026-11-10. In the decision graph; no timeline row.
• The public company Museus e Monumentos de Portugal closed its museums and monuments on 11 November, with rebooking or refunds. (w-pt-26) Ours: mmp-closed at 2026-11-10T14:08Z. Now in the decision graph as evidence.
• The GNR set up an operational reserve of about 1,100 officers on standby. (w-pt-27) Ours: gnr-readiness at 2026-11-10T18:17Z. Now in the decision graph as evidence.
• Lisbon's Metro opened four stations and the Olaias interchange as night shelter for homeless people on the nights of 10 to 11 and 11 to 12 November. (w-pt-28) Ours: metro-shelter at 2026-11-10.
• Charles came during unsettled weather also tied to Bruna, named four days earlier; they are two independent systems. (w-pt-36) Ours: incidents/2026-11-10-storm-charles/data/weather/communiques.json. IPMA's communiqué no. 2 says Bruna is a system independent of Charles.
• In Madeira a red warning was in force for the mountains and the south coast from 21:00 on 10 November to 06:00 on 11 November, with gusts up to 130 km/h on high ground; the north coast was under orange. A separate red wind warning covered the mountains from 00:00 to 06:00, gusts up to 140 km/h. (w-en-13) Ours: ipma-madeira-red at 2026-11-10T07:24Z.
• On the evening of 9 November AEMET issued special warning 38/2026 for 10 to 12 November, for the south and west of the peninsula and the Canary Islands, citing Bruna and Charles together. (w-en-17) Ours: aemet-special. Now in the decision graph.
• On 9 November IPMA said Charles and Bruna are independent weather systems. (w-zh-02) Ours: incidents/2026-11-10-storm-charles/data/weather/communiques.json.

Where we are ahead of Wikipedia

"Has the subject" is a pattern found in the wikitext, not agreement; "our time" is whether the page gives the minute we give.

Wikipedia states what a later change has overtaken (5 claims):

• For the mainland, IPMA's most likely track put the centre's passage between Sines and Cabo Carvoeiro, from late morning on 11 November, with gusts of 100 to 120 km/h (more in exposed places) and waves of four to six metres south of Cabo Carvoeiro. (w-pt-05) Ours: s-1110T2235, s-1110T2350, s-1111T0029. Our rows quote the same written track, and add what Wikipedia does not have: at 22:35 an IPMA meteorologist said on radio that the low should come in between Lisbon and Cabo de São Vicente, further south. The written communiqué had not changed when we last read it.
• On the morning of 10 November IPMA put eight districts under a red wind warning for the next day: Beja, Faro and Setúbal from 09:00 to 21:00; Évora, Leiria, Lisboa, Portalegre and Santarém from 12:00 to 21:00; gusts could reach 140 km/h in the most exposed places. (w-pt-17) Ours: s-1110T0718, s-1110T1423, s-1110T2354, s-1111T0738, s-1111T0824. Lisbon's hours agreed when written. Since then IPMA lowered the wind warnings (sent 07:16:30 UTC on 11 November): Lisboa, Setúbal and Beja red to orange, 09:00 to 21:00; Leiria, Santarém, Portalegre and Évora red to yellow. The Portuguese article (revision of 10:17 UTC) still gives eight districts at red and says nothing of the change. Wikipedia says 'in the morning'; we have the minute IPMA sent the red warning, 07:18 UTC on 10 November, from its CAP message.
• In its 16:30 UTC update on 10 November IPMA issued red rain warnings for Castelo Branco, Leiria, Lisboa, Portalegre, Santarém and Setúbal, valid 12:00 to 18:00 on 11 November: nine mainland districts at red in all, eight for wind and six for rain. (w-pt-18) Ours: s-1110T1742, s-1110T2353. (1) Our row s-1110T1742 now says IPMA sent it at 16:30:01 and that 17:42 is when the desk read it (corrected after this comparison). (2) At 21:23 IPMA moved Lisbon's red rain to 09:00 to 18:00. Wikipedia's revision of 01:33 on 11 November still says 12:00, although this footnote was consulted on 11 November.
• The red wind warnings for 11 November ran 09:00 to 21:00 in Beja, Faro and Setúbal and 12:00 to 21:00 in Évora, Leiria, Lisbon, Portalegre and Santarém; the red rain warnings ran 12:00 to 18:00 in Castelo Branco, Leiria, Lisbon, Portalegre, Santarém and Setúbal. (w-en-11) Ours: s-1110T1423, s-1110T1742, s-1110T2353, s-1111T0738. Lisbon's red rain was moved to 09:00 to 18:00 at 21:23 on 10 November; the English page was last edited at 20:32 and still says 12:00. Lisbon's red wind was lowered to orange, 09:00 to 21:00, at 07:16:30 on 11 November; the English page (last edited 02:22) still gives red, 12:00 to 21:00.
• IPMA expected the storm to make landfall between Cabo Carvoeiro and Sines. (w-en-12) Ours: s-1110T2235, s-1111T0029. As w-pt-05: the written track; we also hold the 22:35 spoken line that puts it further south.

Wikipedia's claims checked at the primary source

Wikipedia is a lead for us, never the source. After the first read the conductor sent its leads to incident.researcher@ and incident.meteorologist@, who went to the bodies themselves. Of 70 claims: 18 verified at a primary source, 2 press only, 4 not established at source, 46 not checked by us.

Not established at source:

• On 10 November TAP cancelled ten flights to and from Madeira: every Lisbon and Porto link between 00:00 and 12:00 on 11 November. (w-pt-13; Wikipedia cites Diário de Notícias da Madeira) The count of ten is not established: the press we read says only that several TAP flights to Funchal were affected, from the airport operator's site; TAP's own statement is about rebooking (decision tap-adjusts).
• Madeira's courts were closed for the whole of 11 November by order of the presiding judge, postponing 34 trials. (w-pt-15; Wikipedia cites Diário de Notícias da Madeira) As stated, not established: the order we could trace is national (court presidents may close courts fully or partly; decision csm-courts), not specific to Madeira. The 34 trials were not checked.
• The environment agency (APA) identified 101 mainland municipalities at higher risk of floods and urban flooding; its president pointed to urban areas of the Algarve, the Oeste and the Centro. (w-pt-23; Wikipedia cites RTP Antena 1) No such notice was found on the environment agency's own site by incident.researcher@ (01:45 to 01:50 UTC on 11 November). The figure rests on the radio report Wikipedia cites.
• On 7 November the Center's outlook labelled the low Invest 94L, several hundred miles south-south-east of Bermuda. (w-en-04; Wikipedia cites Index-Journal) The Hurricane Center's own archived outlooks label the low AL94 on 6 November (11:37 UTC), not 7; and no source read says it became Charles (data/weather/analysis.md, section 8b, a hypothesis).

Whom Wikipedia's footnotes rest on (the whole page at the revision read; a wire is counted only where the footnote names it):

For comparison, the media watch found a wire share of 0.52 in the press it read (outlets.json); a footnote shows the wire only when it names it, so Wikipedia's figure is a floor.
