But if the sources say something, nothing reliable

to correct.
However, I will use my editorial judgment to remove something from an
article if I can confirm it is a gross error of fact, prior to getting
any correction printed or anything like that. I suspect in the vast
majority of cases it is either not that definitive an error or not
that important, though; examples of where it is include BLP concerns -
we'll rarely keep something in the article if the subject claims it is
not true unless our sources are very good.
