The libelous statements remained uncorrected for 4 months and were spread to hundreds of Wikipedia mirrors. We not only failed to correct the error, but our license allowed it to be spread all over the Internet.
That is not an interesting statement. If you were to claim "...and [x] people read that article", that would be more interesting. The fact that an obscure article had misinformation that was not corrected because virtually nobody ever read the article isn't particularly worrisome. If we were talking of [[en:Margaret Thatcher]], containing misinformation for 4 months that thousands of people read, I would be more worried.
