It only takes a single incident like this for people to completely loose trust in Wikipedia, granted Wikipedia was already put to an insanely unreasonable standard.
Of course that's not true. A single incident on a massive website like this is not going to force people who actually trusted Wikipedia before to stop trusting it in the future.
Not really, but I am sick and tired of Wikipedia haters constantly using every tiny mistake to prove "Wikipedia cant be trusted". Granted they still use the age old lie of "anyone can edit it" and "nobody moderates it".
