"Therefore" indicates that, as a rule, old articles shouldn't be changed because they are "for the most part" presumed to be consistent with historical content (i.e. the likelihood that changes will create inconsistencies with the game is relatively high). What I would say is missing from the rule is any mention of consistency with the present, such as MG proposed ("Minor changes may occasionally be necessary, for example if the data is changed in-game"). But the supposition that old articles are consistent with "old" content doesn't invalidate the notion that old articles may have to be revised when "old" content is changed in-game.

Would it make sense if the wording was changed to distinguish between "regular" edits (e.g. car descriptions, copy-editing) and "urgent" edits (e.g. R$/M$/fame payouts, new cars, new tiers)? So that you would have to contact an admin first in case of a "regular" edit, but would simply apply the edit and then notify an admin if it was "urgent"? (Dunno if that helps...)
