    Don’t be too scared but… The same thing is happening on Wikipedia. I realized it when I tried to correct something benign on an article (a motorcycle being the first road legal model from the brand in 40 years) and pointed at an article confirming what I was correcting (article about another model released by the same brand 5 years prior that was a road legal model) and my edit got deleted.

    I then went looking and found an article by an expert on a subject that argued with people on Wikipedia for over a year before just giving up because they wouldn’t accept that a bunch of sources all quoting one wrong source didn’t mean the information was true.
