You're missing the point. Somebody already did it right in the first place. Then you changed it to something wrong. If Orodruin, or anybody else, changes it back, what guarantee is there that some other non-expert won't come along tomorrow and change it to something wrong again? Answer: none.
In other words, if you're an expert, trying to keep a Wikipedia article's text correct ends up being an endless game of whack-a-mole. Experts have better things to do with their time. Yes, that means Wikipedia is often not a good source. That, quite frankly, is Wikipedia's problem.
