The question is why anyone relies on Wikipedia. As the first draft of history in many cases, and the only draft for vast portion of the public that relies on it, it's an obvious target for propaganda (both organized and ad hoc).
Anyone who has tried to edit a page that's politically contentious, or that anyone cares about, knows that what's written depends almost completely on who has the most time and patience.
It's an easy, obvious means of manipulation by those who have the resources to do it.
