There are folks on the Internet specifically working this problem. Check out DP at http://www.pgdp.net/c/default.php . I have used some of their material, after running it through BD. You spread the work out across the community, and it produces pretty good results. Contribute a little of your time so we won't have to live with sloppy sources.

Yea, it's the distributed model. Millions of people, correcting and updating by 1 version can make a difference. Even if most of them don't bother.
