+# Wikipedia cross-checks, round two: Germany, Italy, Brazil
+
+Research checked on 26 October 2026. Read `DATA-MAINTENANCE.md` and each
+country's entries with the profile before comparing. Method per the project
+hint: read each Wikipedia legal history as a lead list, check every dated
+event against changes.yaml, add what is missing and sourced. One missing
+history item added (Italy 2019 ruling, separate note and commit); no
+scores, profiles or other timelines changed in this pass.
+
+## Germany: complete on verifiable items
+
+All Wikipedia dated events present: 1872 pharmacy rule, 1886 Darmstadt
+notice, 1890 ordinance, 1896 Hesse rules, 1907 Bromidia rules, 1920 Opium
+Act, 1929 Opium Act, 1945 Soviet-zone law, 1970 GDR hashers, 1971
+Narcotics Act, 1971 Hulsman, 1972 Baan/hashish cases, 1973 GDR Act and
+Ruigoord, 1975 conventions, 1982 therapy-instead-of-punishment, 1984 THC

+2025 bills, 2026 reimbursement end. The 1994/1998 dronabinol
+reschedulings rest on Wikipedia alone (German originals not recovered) —
+left as a lead, not added.
+
+## Italy: one item added, rest present
+
+The May 2019 Joint Chambers ruling on cannabis-light derivatives
+(30 May information note; judgment 30475 filed 10 July) was missing and
+is now `italy-cannabis-light-derivatives-ruling-2019`, sourced from IDPC
+and ADVANT Nctm and treated as unscored hemp-market context like the 2025
+flower ban. Everything else present: 1923 laws, 1934 decree, 1954 law,
+1975 modest quantity, 1976 confinement, 1980/1981 referendum validation,
+1982 ruling, 1988 import ruling, 1990 criminalisation, 1993 referendum,
+1998 prescribing, 2006 Fini-Giovanardi, 2007 decree, 2008 cultivation
+and Rastafari rulings, 2009 seed food, 2012 seeds ruling and Tuscany law,
+2013 medical/Sativex/regional/patient-club/trade, 2014 court and
+resentencing, 2016 hemp law, 2017 army cannabis, 2019 home growing, 2021
+initiative, 2022 referendum block, 2023 decree annulment, 2025 flower
+ban. The 2021 loophole reports describe the 2015 doctrine's application;
+no separate event added.
+
+## Brazil: complete
+
+1830 Rio ban through 2026 cultivation rules all present, including the
+deep medical-cultivation arc (2016 first habeas corpus, 2017 Abrace,
+2020 Apepi) from Ribeiro's 2026 book. Wikipedia's "Pernambuco March
+2020 first licence" line does not establish an event distinct from that
+arc — no addition.
+
+## Validation and tree note
+
+- No changes.yaml edits in this note's pass (Italy entry committed
+  separately as 0ec6129).
+- Commit stages only this note. Foreign work in the shared tree is
+  excluded and preserved.
