Did you fix it?

  Wikipedia's policy is that errors in existing pages should not be fixed.

    Wait what? Is the whole point of wiki not to improve and correct?
    • thaumasiotes 3y ago
      Try it and see what happens.

    The actual policy is to improve accuracy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Accuracy_dispute https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Accuracy_dispute

      Are Wikipedia's "actual" policies the things that Wikipedia says it does, or the things that Wikipedia actually does?

        I don't know where you are going, but I did fix several articles already and never had a single issue with it because my sources were correct. Yes, there might be bad actors, but it doesn't mean that everything is bad and impossible. You should try first, at least.
