Prophet is actually right there. Teachers basically say it all the time "you can never trust Wikipedia/never use Wikipedia as a source" because anyone can edit it, and so, it is common belief that they can insert whatever unreferenced gibberish/ false facts there.

As for wikis, just now I was reviewing Godisme's Talk page and remembered some guy who vandalized Yamamoto's article, and when he received warning about it, his excuse was "I wasn't trying to vandalize, I was just showing my friend that anybody can add anything to a wiki". So actually, people KNOW that anybody can edit. That image designation is just wrong
