I'm curious by what precisely you mean by this. Last I checked, reality itself has problems consistently representing itself.

I mean articles not contradicting each other.

In this case neutral statements could be used.

I don't think eliminating contradictions matters that much. Wikipedia is a good starting point for reading up on topics that matter to you and then doing your own research, and a nice website to kill a few hours reading about topics that don't. Even with contradictions it works fine for both use cases.

It isn't a good encyclopedia, I agree – but what is?
