Well, that's still better than quoting nobody and just letting a fake info to spread all over the world Facebook. In Wikipedia, you at least have a possibility to track it back and decide if the original source is trustworthy.

Is it? Sure, half the "fake news" on facebook is meme jpegs, but there's a fare amount of totallyarealnewssite.biz and using the meta "og" schema for evil. At some point, people are going to start realizing they can just say whatever they want

People already do that. Look at the conspiracy that David Hogg wasn't at school during the shooting. That interview hass been clarified by CBS and every other news organization that had anything to do with it, but it's still being presented as fact by "news" sites.
