We suggest that you go to the "Sandbox" page to practice and do other changes.

OUCH !!!!!
THAT MEANS
You have been caught already by the magic Wikipedia Person-in-Charge.

NOTE; even "THE TATER has been Catched"
that is right. they have also caught THE TATER
Well, that didn't happen when my son made the changes to the Pittsburgh Penguins wikipedia entry. His changes were accepted and the entry was changed. We talked for an admittedly short while, and he changed it back. So... what if you are doing research, and you happen to land on something that has been changed but not caught yet?

It's unreliable. They are getting better at policing it, but it's still not to be trusted for research purposes. I would only use it as a springboard to other research.
