In a recent thread about improving search, I posted a comment about a
possible hazard of relying on Google to search Wikipedia.[1] I explained
that Google had been displaying a text snippet from an outdated,
disruptive revision of the Gender page.[2] Well, that error has now
resurfaced, and at an editor's suggestion I posted to the Village Pump
about it.[3] The initial response at VP was essentially "not our
problem; go away" which was not exactly encouraging.
I'm sorry but if a major search engine is erroneously telling people
that Wikipedia is stating " There are only 2 genders. Male and Female",
that is a cause of concern for me, and I want to know if or how this
problem can be fixed. As I explained on the talk page and in the Village
Pump, Google's cache of the actual page is up to date; it's just the
snippet that is wrong.
