Question

(Link)
I have seen errors regarding minor Doctor Who story trivia on wiki. Do I have to be a member to edit? Is there a suggestion board or a place on wiki to post if you have a dispute?
One was actually on the Vampire Circus page. It stated that Lalla Ward went on to play a vampire in State of Decay. She did not, she was on the menu as Adric said.
The other regards "reverse the polarity of the neutron flow." It stated than T. Baker said it in City of Death.
He did not, he only said "reverse the polarity."
They were right about Pertwee having said "reverse the polarity of the neutron flow" once during his original tenure. He reversed the polarity of other things... but not only referred to "neutron flow" once.
So I think that Baker said it in City of Death, I run a trivia game based on that, and end up confusing the anoraks.
So I have to wonder how accurate Wiki is. It helps to get the "jist" of things but I won't cite them anymore without double checking the information.

Every article has a talk page. Just click the tab labeled "discussion".
