I see that as a good thing - guards against the principle of "the victors writing the history books", as it were. The more collective knowledge from disparate masses, the better, IMO, provided substantive references and evidence are provided.
I think Wiki is an excellent informational starting point. I maintain, however, it should not be used as a sole, authoritative source, a principle which applies to anything and everything. Or certainly should. That being said, the referenced footnotes for further research are what lend Wiki a good deal of its credibility.
