Edit: I don’t want to be harsh on you, but the fundamental problem of credibility, especially in online writing, is that it takes one mistake to lose an amount that takes hundreds of correct decision in a row to regain…
Me personally, don't mind people leaving in obvious mistakes and lies in an article, it makes it easier to know I shouldn't take what they write as truth. It's a reminder that they couldn't get the most obvious stuff right, so I probably shouldn't believe them in areas that I know nothing about.
I personally like when the article itself is as correct as possible and then there are footnotes or something listing the corrections that have been made. I like to learn about misconceptions, I find them interesting.
I don't see how this relatively minor issue subtracts from the overall credibility of the article. In fact, the way it is presented in the article with footnotes adds to credibility, in my opinion.
