The lack of peer review, while a concern to some

The lack of peer review, while a concern to some[who?], is not considered a hindrance to those who use the arXiv.[says who?] Many authors exercise care in what they post.[citation needed] A majority of the e-prints are also submitted to journals for publication, but some work, including some very influential papers, remain purely as e-prints and are never published in a peer-reviewed journal. A well-known example of the latter is an outline of a proof of Thurston's geometrization conjecture, including the Poincaré conjecture as a particular case, uploaded by Grigori Perelman in November 2002. Perelman appears content to forgo the traditional peer-reviewed journal process, stating "If anybody is interested in my way of solving the problem, it's all there [on the arXiv] - let them go and read about it."[11]
While the arXiv does contain some dubious e-prints, such as those claiming to refute famous theorems or proving famous conjectures such as Fermat's last theorem using only high school mathematics, they are "surprisingly rare".[12] The arXiv generally re-classifies these works, e.g. in "General mathematics", rather than deleting them.[13]
