I would imagine they don't publish things that they cannot verify as probably true, or things that aren't newsworthy.

On the other hand, here's something they did publish: a leak of their own donor list. http://www.newswiretoday.com/news/46864/. I see that as pretty good evidence of their integrity.

According to a WikiLeaks member, they publish all true and false documents together with a judgment whether they think it's true/false and why. For example, they published a fake Steve Jobs medical report together with a note why they considered it a fake. They do have criteria (e.g. no self-made write-ups, no publically available documents), but nothing against boring or false stuff.
