We are working on ways to select and highlight reliable versions of articles.

However, Wikipedia is not uniformly peer reviewed; while readers may correct errors or engage in casual [[Wikipedia:Peer review|peer review]], they have no legal duty to do so and thus all information read here is without any implied warranty of fitness for any purpose or use whatsoever. Even articles that have been vetted by informal peer review or [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|''featured article'']] processes may later have been edited inappropriately, just before you view them.
