There is another factor with misinformation in Wikipedia. They have a page
about the gran Partitta, which is full of errors. I tried to correct them,
but the page is locked and cannot be edited, at least by me. Then I spent
some time trying find out how one contacts the person who controls the page,
but I don't have that much lifetime left to get that job done.

So with respect to Christope's idea, is very difficult (at least in this one
instance) to get a page corrected, or even to enter into dialogue with those
who mounted the misinformation.
