Yes, it's been made sufficiently clear that the OP did not make a good impression. Can we move on?

As I'm not part of the EB team I'm not as enraged as when it'd be MY mod/share of the research.
from a mod I worked on I remember people always comeing up with how wrong my ancient greek would be as I write Oxybeles instead of Oxyvelis and so on. or that my research was not conform with the discriptions from Age of Empires: Mythologies(the DS tough version).
Understood, and I agree. But what Bobbin says is true as well. We all start with misconceptions about history, and because we know so little about it we assume them to be solid truth. Of course, if you're not familiar with a topic, it's best to ask rather than assume you know better. But it's a quirk of human nature that the less we know, the more we think we know. Check out the Dunning–Kruger effect for the extreme version of this.
