:[[Wikipedia:Be bold|You should correct it.]] Wikipedia is written by volunteers who believe knowledge should be free for everyone, and the community is always ready to welcome new volunteers.

:Because Wikipedia is an all-volunteer project that anyone can edit, errors or omissions can and do creep in. This should be kept in mind when reading; the very nature of Wikipedia means it should not be trusted completely. Articles frequently contain citations of authoritative works where a reader can verify the information found.

:If you see that something can't be right but are not sure what the correct information is, you can signal the problem on the article's [[Help:Using talk pages|talk page]]: click the tab labeled "talk" on the top of the page, and next click the tab "new section".
