Wikipedia is usually right. Yes, it's true that anybody can edit it
-- even you! But mistakes are made, and the people who write things
aren't always experts in the subject area. Still, Wikipedia is very
impressive.

Since you know the answer, why not go over and correct the article?

Since you want to make a big deal out of it, I have done such a thing on
certain topics in the past only to have them "recorrected" by those with
different facts and an agenda to promote.
You can do considerably better than this source for factual information.
It can't be assumed to be any more correct than a chat room.
