Wikipedia relies on people reading it and realising "Wait, that's wrong..." to fix inaccuracies.

Recently some PR company was caught taking money to whitewash the Wikipedia pages of their clients. The more people that are looking at the pages, the more likely it is that someone will realise they are being manipulated maliciously.
