Yes, it can be false. But so can any source. I heard a documentary about wikipedia where they quoted some research that showed that major paper encyclopedias have about the same amount of errors as wikipedia.
In general, wikipedia shows a high degree of accuracy. But as with any source, you shouldn't rely on just that source alone.
