People keep on misunderstanding how vandalism works and how quickly it's reverted.
Or maybe we could just make it clear to first-time Google search visitors how the site is written and run, and stop pretending to be a 100.0%authoritative reference work when none of us actually view it that way.
We aren't pretending to be a 100% authoritive source. We've got various disclaimers and anyone who bothers looking for it will know how it is built. You can't trust any source without doublechecking - not even the "authoritive" ones. Britannica has errors too. It's the readers that need to change.
