Originally it was permitted, but too many people abused this and wasted a lot of volunteer time. :-(

Now you need to get cited by someone else before wikipedia will accept it. (and preferably someone else needs to be cited too of course)

It's outsourcing verification, and it mostly works, but "small tidbits" like you find in Hacker News comments now and then will likely never make it.
