This is the question asked by Luca de Alfaro who has written software which looks at the content of a Wikipedia entry and rates its veracity based on the history of the content. It "counts the degree to which any given contributor's work survives subsequent edits by other people" and assigns a colour to the words based on this reputation.
It is currently a standalone application which uses an older subset of Wikipedia entries, but Luca is hoping to work with the Wikimedia Foundation to offer it as a web application on the live site.
