How many commercial encyclopaedias can do better?
I hope you're joking here. :)
Just in case you weren't: commercial encyclopedias have a sophisticated
editorial and legal process in place to ensure they do not print defamatory
content. Sometimes subjects are sent a draft before publication, and are
given an opportunity to make an input.
Having dealt with such things before...
That process takes* much much longer* than 2-5 days.
And unless the problem is exceptional most encyclopedias will continue and
ongoing print run until their next update without modification.
