How about accepting "cell phone" for "telephone" ? Or was it specifically a landline?

It would be kind to accept cell phone or mobile phone but it's not completely accurate. In the case of Crowe it was a landline and in the case of Campbell it was a cell phone. Both are "telephones".

Didn't Dr. Watson get presented first? Maybe I have a different version, but my book starts with Watson.

I think the question refers to which character made their first appearance in "A Study in Scarlet," not which character was first mentioned in the book, although it could be interpreted as that. Maybe the question could be rephrased.

It definitely means "what character makes their first appearance," but I do think that Dr. Watson should be an acceptable type-in. He may not be as famous as Holmes, but he's still a very well-known fictional character. Or maybe specify "fictional detective" rather than "character"?

I tried Watson before Holmes just to see if it would work, and because I couldn't remember any of the other characters, even the policeman who comes back in other stories. No such luck though.

Colossal squid and giant squid are two separate species therefore giant squid is incorrect

Ugh, again that "capital of Latin America" nonsense. Only in the navel-gazing US might it be considered so. Certainly not in Latin America itself.

As there are today (2022-02-04) 4 Gigafactories and as only one is manufacturing batteries, the question should be more specific.

Up to 5 now, currently batteries, EVs and solar panels should all be acceptable answers here.

It stands for What Would Jesus Do? I think it’s on bumper stickers and badges etc as a reminder of how Christians should behave when in doubt.

There is not "the" Tesla Gigafactory. They also produce cars in some factories - which are called gigafactory as well. In fact 2 of the 5 are for the production of cars (Del Valle & Grünheide, Germany). One of the two gigafactories responsible for production of batteries also produces vehicles.

The Tesla Gigafactories are as follows

Gigafactory 1: Batteries in Nevada

Gigafactory 2: Photovoltaic in Buffalo

Gigafactory 3: Batteries and Cars in Shanghai

Gigafactory 4: Cars in Brandenburg

Gigafactory 5: Cars in Texas

I'd love to have "Cars" as a possible solution...
