More colloquially, people would say that Wikipedia could not be trusted because "anyone can edit the pages or write whatever they want."

Of course that's demonstrative of the genesis fallacy. Anyone can write or publish a book, too. So it always comes down to "how can you trust information?" That's where individual responsibility to think critically comes in. There's not really anything you can do about the fact that a lot of people will choose to not think.
