If you can see a mistake in a Wikipedia page, why don't you just edit the page to rectify the problem?

I don't know how valid this is... But apparantly one study concluded that Wikipedia was no worse than the Encyclopedia Britannica in terms of making errors...

Wikipedia becomes the more reliable the more people read, write and correct an article, as a rule of thumb. You should also check different wikis (if your knowledge of languages allow) and take a look at the discussion pages of each.
