You were right and I was wrong.

#Wikipedia works because it has a central set of sources that it accepts. One can only add a fact if there is a source that is real, cite-able, and reliable. Moreover, what Wikipedia promises is not "X is true", but rather "Z says X is true". This must be verifiable and Z must be a reliable source.

So Wikipedia does have a restriction process like peer-review (although it is different).
