   2 corrections applied: Lyubomirsky, Sheldon & Schkade (2005) appeared in Review of General Psychology, not Psychological Review (DOI prefix 1089-2680 is RGP's). | Held (2004) was published in the Journal of Humanistic Psychology, as the article's own reference list states.

   Before

   published a landmark paper in Psychological Review titled "Pursuing Happiness"... Barbara Held's 2004 paper in Psychological Inquiry, "The Negative Side of Positive Psychology"

   After

   published a landmark paper in Review of General Psychology titled "Pursuing Happiness"... Barbara Held's 2004 paper in Journal of Humanistic Psychology, "The Negative Side of Positive Psychology"

   Why: Two corrections: Lyubomirsky, Sheldon & Schkade (2005) appeared in Review of General Psychology, not Psychological Review (the DOI prefix 1089-2680 belongs to RGP); and Held (2004) was published in the Journal of Humanistic Psychology, matching the article's own reference list.

   The live article body and reference list already had both fixes correctly applied, BUT the bibliography entry for Lyubomirsky et al. still listed the stale journal name "Psychological Review, 12(1)" (inconsistent with its own correct DOI, 10.1037/1089-2680.9.2.111, which is volume 9 issue 2 of Review of General Psychology), and the faq field's "sustainable happiness model" answer also still named "2005 Psychological Review paper".

   Fixed both the bibliography entry (now Review of General Psychology, 9(2)) and the faq answer to match the already-correct body text, then verified clean on fresh re-fetch.
