Wikipedia: After looking at about 6 articles, I haven't found any mistakes yet to edit... still looking. Now my count is up to 11 or 12 articles; I finally found a mistake to edit. All I did was add a space after a comma, so I guess that counts as a typo I fixed. I can see how the ease with which people can edit could lead to constant problems in articles on controversial subjects, and I have in the past seen disclaimers and warnings about articles in which the facts were possibly wrong or had been disputed.
From the articles I looked at, it seems there are not many obvious mistakes. With the editing open to anyone, perhaps factual errors and obvious spelling or grammar errors are corrected quickly.
