That's really a bad news.
I am not a user of Wikisource..yet I know it's just another wiki, which provides user-edited content..even it is a "source" ..but it "is" a ..wiki!
I was happy to see a result of a google search I made for something; which was a Hadith from Sahih Muslim ..on Wikisource! (1st search result)
I said: great! now we have another online source for our religion texts..
I visited the site, and found the Quran and Holy book there. I randomly visited Surat Al-Hadid in the Quran section..and doubted the 1st Ayah text!
When I opened my copy of the Quran..there was an obvious mistake :(
Two words have dropped. Wa Al-Ardh

What is this?
Why this?
Well... to me..I don't need another source then!
If any human wanted to see the original Quran texts - or the Holy book..or any other sacred book - and found No.1 result in searches: a mistaken text!! Does that make any help to any person on earth!?
I thank them..but, hey! .. we don't need it!
