Explanation

Google Earth is a service of Google, Inc., a company with no relationship to the Wikimedia Foundation, which hosts Wikipedia. Google downloads Wikipedia articles and then links them to Google Earth locations.

Google does not update its database in real time and it is possible that it keeps incorrect data from Wikipedia long after it has been corrected in Wikipedia.

The Wikimedia Foundation has no means to change anything in Google's database, including wrong locations for markers or inappropriate text.
