We could combine it with our general disclaimer.

"WARNING: Wikipedia may or may not describe reality as it actually is.
It may or may not include accurate or inaccurate information which may
or may not offend you. If you search for an article about a sexual
topic such as ''autofellatio'', it may include information about the
sexual topic in question. Then again, it may not. Conversely, if you
search for information about ''Drosophila melanogaster'', the article
may not include any actual information about ''Drosophila
melanogaster'' at all but, in fact, a 14-year-old's opinion about the
sexual orientation of one of his friends or classmates. The article
may or may not be illustrated in either case. You may or may not trust
Wikipedia, but if you do so blindly, please [[contact us]] for
