In this context, I think it's derived from the fact that if you read a given Wikipedia page you get snapshot of the work at a given point in time, and since anyone can edit Wikipedia the source and reliability of the information is not clear. And yet, paradoxically, internet users tend to trust Wikipedia content without checking it. The same applies to other so-called internet 2.0 phenomena such as blogs.
