We have no guarantee that the entries will remain the same either. The bioastropedia is an excellent web site, but we aren't going to import their articles wholesale and leave them untouched forever, are we?
Well, no, I didn't expect us to. I guess the question is "at what point have articles changed enough from the source that it's ok to remove the citation"? I would (today, anyway) urge people to leave the citations in and change "works cited" to "works consulted"--if for no other reason than that several notable academics have been caught plagiarizing lately.
