@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange We spent many years trying to correct a video game's release date, just because its author gave the wrong one in an interview done 10-20 years after the fact (which is a more reputable source than the game's own documentation, naturally).

We only managed to resolve it because someone who happened to be an experienced Wikipedia editor walked into our community and proposed to clean up the article for us while dealing with the editor politics.

At this point, I honestly encourage specialized communities to build their own wikis, treating Wikipedia as a kind of "jack of all trades, master of none" place.
