The danger is when the public or worse the policy makers _take actions_ based on inaccurate information from Wikipedia. But if/when this is about to happen the publicity will prompt the experts to step up and fix the article (hopefully).
I'm willing to bet, proportionally, you'll find more inaccuracies reported in NY Times, CNN, FOX or any other mass media outlets. This represents far more danger, for they actually influence public discussions and policies.

From politic to religion with abortion thrown in for added spice. 640 plus comments and still going. All because DOJ gave some lame excuse for dening FOIA request ?
A dog bites man is not a news, a man bites dog is. Considering dominance of MS in goverments and corporations, any considersations of going to other than MS is news.
By the same token, any large bank or insurance company staying with DB2 or Oracle is not a news, announcing that they are considering MySQL is.
My $.02. No doubt anti US sentiment is a factor in this announcement.
