Even though at the bottom of the page, they say that "A small minority include Hasan ibn Ali as a fifth righteously guided Caliph", then why do they list Hasan ibn Ali as the fifth Caliph at the top of the page? I think that's very misleading....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rightly_Guided_Caliphs
There are only 4 Khulafā’ur-Rāshidūn, not 5.

Well, I tried to edit it, but it shows some other text. Any ideas?

Wikipedia is a user-edited reference source. If you can find good, solid reference materials to back up your statement, you should see about logging into the site and editing the article. Be warned, however. You should be able to prove your point as other users may disagree. Check with the Wikipedia forums and help areas for more details.
Again, it's not Wikipedia per se that is making the statement. It's the user-editors that have written the article.

Wouldn't be the first time something in Wikipedia was wrong.
