Well what makes an article in a regular paper encylopedia correct?
Sure you will get a few out of the thousands of people putting up wrong information, it's up to the rest of wikipedians to find and correct any false information they find.
I am not going to say there aren't going to flaws or misinformation, that is part of the beast (but that goes with anything else out there) all I am saying is that eventually, it will all be fairly close to the truth.
