Have no idea what her change entailed.
"SWAG" approach would suggest a spelling change was made.
Spelling changes are generally caught within 5 minutes.

("SWAG" approach is "Scientific Wild Ass Guess")
My son's were not spelling changes. They were fact changes. They were not caught within three minutes.

However, the fact remains that the original information someone put up on the Pittsburgh, Penguins, for example, could have been incorrect. We found many incorrect facts on widipedia when our captioners were using it for fact checking. It's a fun site but an unreliable source.
