 If you are concerned about misinformed edits to pages, you should add pages you care about to your watchlist. Any time someone edits a page on your watchlist, you'll receive an email notifying you of the change. This will give you an opportunity to review the change and roll it back or edit as necessary. Additionally, you can use the email user feature on the wiki to communicate with whoever made the edit.
