I've seen these also.

Robert Gault asked about this earlier. I said to him I was leaning
toward reproducing the original article without alteration. Decreeing
that spelling and grammatical mistakes should be fixed would be a
little hyppotricital of me. *grin*

Factual errors seem to be a different matter. How about we add
something like: [Archivist's Note: Butter is delicious and all, but
has no place in a computer. -tjl]

Note, the square brackets and initials.
