For anyone who's been brought on to here, especially mods, I'll leave these links to some mainstream-ish news sources which explain why Wikipedia is not infalliable after all.

In 2014, there was an incident in the Netherlands where two Wikipedia administrators went to a woman's home to harass her.
The total number of comments in the “brigade,” aside from one from me and two from you, was two. And one of those two was pointing out a typo in your brigade announcement.
you forgot to mention that this happened in 2014
Fixed, thanks.
