On the CREWE Facebook page, Andrew Lih from WIkipedia has asked Dr
diStaso to correct her claims. His request:
‘Thanks, but doesn’t that mean the correct conclusion should be: “60%
of respondents who identified an article about their client found at
least one error”? That’s very different than: “60% of Wikipedia
articles about PR clients had factual errors” even more different
than: “60% of Wikipedia articles had factual errors” Doesn’t this
warrant a significant correction?’
Dr diStaso has, instead, reinforced the wrong impression in quotes
given to ABC News today:

I've asked her as well to please take the opportunity to urgently
correct the impression her work is giving. I'm sure there will be no
problem with this.
