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.
Note that this has been a problem - BLPs with information from one bad
source that got copied around the world, and the subject unable to get
it removed from Wikipedia because of bloody-minded editors who think
sourcing must be done robotically.
