Seriously, we should give out a big press release explaining once and

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

change.
