That's certainly the first thing which occurred to this Wellingtonian.
Since leaving NZ it's struck me that NZ ads are pretty vicious, compared with those from other countries. Drink-driving ads showing mangled children, ACC ads showing people falling into plate-glass coffee tables, that sort of thing.
people in high school are not qualified to write encyclopedia articles.
You seem to have missed this point: Wikipedia works because not everyone knows everything about everything. The initial source of the information is irrelevant; if any given piece of information is incorrect or misleading, it WILL be corrected.
Bottom line: Go read wikipedia. If you find something you can correct, improve, or expand upon, do so. If you can't, you obviously don't know enough to bitch about it. But chances are someone else does.
