Devopedia is modelled on Wikipedia. Naturally, it inherits some of
Wikipedia's problems. Since the platform is collaborative, we rely on
people to either point out errors to authors or improve the article, after
discussing the changes with current authors via the chat channel. Authors
are expected to include citations to back their statements. Readers can
verify by looking at the source. In fact, the first paragraph of the
excerpt cites an article by Tim Berners-Lee. Authors could have still
misinterpreted the source.

Not at the moment. Content is researched manually by authors. However, when
citing references we make use of semantic markup in HTML to pick out author
name, title, date of publication, etc. We use Chicago Manual of Style
(Author-Date) format for our references.

Arvind
