Wikipedia is a reliable source, edits are monitored, and vandalism or incorrect information generally gets fixed pretty quickly, especially on popular subjects/pages. Unless you can prove otherwise, there is no reason to believe any information is incorrect. If you can prove otherwise, you can of course edit/correct it yourself.
That article is simply to discourage using another wikipedia article as a citation.

This page is about using Wikipedia as a citation in another Wikipedia article and not about using Wikipedia in general.
