I have never had this experience and use Wikipedia extensively for digging into science, math, history, economics etc
Outside of history these are mostly subject I have studied extensively and was looking into areas I was not familiar with but knowledgeable enough to know problems if I saw them.
So please provide examples and please provide these to the Wikipedians as well so they have something to sink their teeth into.

@shafik fair enough, the number of times I look at sources on Wikipedia in my life is probably countable on one's fingers and I definitely don't remember what page I was on, say, 1–3 years ago when this last occurred. (Also can't see it from edit history since, if the source doesn't say and I'm there for information, evidently I'm not qualified to write on the topic) Will bookmark this post and try to remember to reply when I next check a reference and find that it checks out or not!
