However, I will use my editorial judgment to remove something from an article if I can confirm it is a gross error of fact, prior to getting any correction printed or anything like that. I suspect in the vast majority of cases it is either not that definitive an error or not that important, though; examples of where it is include BLP concerns - we'll rarely keep something in the article if the subject claims it is not true unless our sources are very good.
Note that this has been a problem - BLPs with information from one bad source that got copied around the world, and the subject unable to get it removed from Wikipedia because of bloody-minded editors who think sourcing must be done robotically.
