I'll point out that I think it's most sensible to rely only on verified information, but Wikipedia has not in the past seriously implemented such theoretical ideals. If people are going to start doing so, do it across the board please. I don't doubt the encyclopaedia would be a vast amount smaller and less broad if only verified information is left in it! Wikipedia has not succeeded at even beginning to conform to its ideals.
You're confusing "verified" and "verifiable". All Wikipedia requires is that information actually has been published or is otherwise verifiable. We don't do fact checking, per se.
