Still unverified
Yahoo Finance pages showed 'Oops, something went wrong' error messages alongside the calendar listings, and earnings counts differ between pages for the same dates (e.g. Nov 2 listed as 130 vs 129; Nov 5 as 615 vs 613), with the UK page showing different counts again (Nov 3 as 76, Nov 4 as 306).
