Not so much. Information is power. Power includes the power to kill.
Words and images can result in deaths. See [[Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy]]. So can almost any form of information
If wikipedia continues at it's current level of popularity it is likely that something in it will eventually indirectly result in deaths (if it hasn't already). At best we can hope that any deaths will be the result of truths rather than lies.
