The only way the high quality can be assured, and wikipedia can stay reputable (with the press penchant for negative stories) is to clearly identify what is the original source "wikimedia foundation" data/information/articles and what is not.
But the information in question *is* original source wikimedia foundation data/information/articles. However, the Wikimedia trademarks, at least in theory (IANAL), disallow someone from making that clear.
It may be original source now, but how does wikimedia foundation make sure that it continues to be?
One way is through control of their trademark.
