Fiction is a work of fiction and nonfiction.
If it says "Nonfiction", it is nonfiction. I am scrupulous about this: no fiction in the nonfiction.
Page titles that end in "(nonfiction)" have nonfictional content in the first part of the page. Likewise, categories whose titles end in "(nonfiction)" list only "(nonfiction)" pages.
Sections labelled "Nonfiction cross-reference" contain only links to "(nonfiction)" pages.
Everything else is subject to the fictions of my imagination.

1824: Lord Kelvin born. He will do much to unify the emerging discipline of physics in its modern form.
