I think the journalist was more interested in trying to paint a picture of conflict by asking that question, which makes for a more interesting story for some people. I was really keen for that not to happen. I was more interested in getting across the points about how Wikipedia works and how it can be engaged with, rather than stirring up trouble!

Thanks,

Stevie

Stating the obvious isn't always unhelpful: making the system work
properly is win-win for Wikipedia's readers and those with legitimate
corrections/updates.
