Here is Wiki's explanation:
In every article, links will guide you to associated articles, often with additional information. You are welcome to add further information, cross-references, or citations, so long as you do so within Wikipedia's editing policies and to an appropriate standard. You do not need to fear accidentally damaging Wikipedia when you add or improve information, as other Wikipedians are always around to advise or correct obvious errors if needed, and the Wikipedia encyclopedia software, known as MediaWiki, is carefully designed to allow easy reversal of editorial mistakes.

That's why people cite their sources. If you want to confirm something, read the citation listed at the bottom of the page.

The administrators verify the validity of the content in new Wiki entries. If the content is incorrect or bogus, it is altered or removed.
