The biggest problem I see with wikipedia articles of all types is that all the little edits destroy coherent flow. There's no purposeful paragraph structure. You wind up with a string of factually correct sentences that together read like something an AI created.
The pattern seems to be that at one point a single author had a section or entire page in great shape: Ideas developed, a story told. Then it gets picked apart into crap over time.
