Whether or not we can fully trust Wikipedia is one thing, and it is true that truth should not just be a result of frequency counting.
I'd say Wikipedia, like the scientific process, works in the limit; any snapshot may contain errors, but there's a process for weeding out errors that leads to conversion towards the right direction, if not always in a strictly monotonic fashion.
