Let us by all means make disclaimers more prominent.  It is too late for 
the project not to be successful -- from a position of strength the 
community can afford to be more self-critical, and even to start 
generating our own harsh statistics on how [in]accurate or [un]referenced 
our content is.

More suited to wikipedia-l, since we're talking about that; re-adding it 
to the Cc: list.
