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.

MISS "KITTY' made her change to The Villages, FL on Wikipedia
and it was caught within 3 minutes.
Have no idea what her change entailed.
"SWAG" approach would suggest a spelling change was made.
Spelling changes are generally caught within 5 minutes.
