I have a specific example: the Wikipedia article on a notable historical
figure, like all other sources I have checked, states that he had two
wives (in series, not parallel).  However, an official government-issued
marriage certificate on file in a county clerk's office proves that he
had another wife between those two.  What will I be permitted to add to
this person's article?
