Wikipedia having editors is a good step in the right direction, but they can only do so much and the level of expertise attracted to a volunteer, non-paying position is suboptimal. I have seen erroneous medical passages on there that have not been corrected for some time, likely because the editors lack the manpower/knowledge to correct them. It seems all you need to do is cite anything to support your claim, and it won't get flagged for review.
