How is the integrity of the data on Wikipedia.com if anyone can edit the data?

I am just wondering. Wikipedia.com has some good solid information that can give you a great starting point for researching a topic. If anyone can edit the data, how is the integrity of the data kept sound? Thanks!

Administrators and power users of wikipedia delete or edit this website as soon as they can when they see that something has changed.

It is not. Universities don't usually accept information cited by Wikipedia.

It isn't. That's why you may be able to use it as a starting point, but always verify the info.
