So go edit it. Wikipedia is open.

I tried it one time and it did not work. Is there somebody that
edits the edits? What happens if two editors are diametrical opposed.
Does it oscillate? :)

There is something called a three revert rule and you are supposed to
discuss changes on the talk page. There are also people who volunteer
as mediators. Usually if you have a good reason for doing something
people will leave your changes alone.

I'm trying to get some guidelines changed concerning "reliable
sources". I agued that I would trust this self published list
concerning aircraft more than I would trust a journalist at my local
newspaper writing an article about aircraft. Whether a source is
published can't be a blanket rule for reliability.
