Not exactly. They publish EVERYTHING that ANYONE places on the page. But, then anyone else can fact check it and edit it to correct it. Many people don't like being corrected.
THE Wiki has been analyzed numerous times and found to be one of the most accurate sources published, either in print or online. Mainly because so many people can edit it. It keeps it honest. For a long time sources like encyclopedia Britannica tried to discredit Wiki, since it was costing them business. In the end they gave up, because they were simply proving Wiki is more accurate than they are.
Wiki can and does get updated many times a day, as fact come in and information is corrected. NO print media can do that.
