Although I agree with the general notion of this suggestion, I would say this is overkill. Especially the last three boxes say the same. Something like this:
Large portions of this page are originally incorrect or so outdated that they are no longer useable.


It also adds a note to your page, in case somebody want to help improve it (all edits going on this page are basically “lost”, unless somebody manually merge/add them to your version). — xZise [talk] 14:30, 6 September 2013 (CDT)
