Playing a bit of devil's advocate here, and since
I don't know enough about the ARC-5 system to 
dispute the Wikipedia page, I've got two questions.

Would you detail what parts of the Wikipedia page
are incorrect?

What input are you providing to Wikipedia to correct
the errors that you have noted?

I am not asking these questions to pick a fight, but
if information in the Wikipedia page on the ARC-5 system
is wrong, let the forum know what you believe to be 
incorrect.  That can be discussed and debated and then
the corrected information can be submitted back to 
Wikipedia with comments and suggestions to improve 
the entry.

To me, that is a win-win all around.  The misinformation
is corrected and Wikipedia is improved.  To simply say
Wikipedia is incorrect is too broad a paint brush for 
a large information database as Wikipedia.

Any errors here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_triangle

If not, well, there is one page where Wikipedia is 
correct.
