One thing that strikes me is that both articles are difficult to read and poorly written. In other words, when something is controversial and has a high rate of editing, the readability quality invariably decreases in the ensuing chaos.
That doesn't just apply to controversial subjects. Any subject with a high edit rate shows the same problem - current events, for example (they generally end up being timelines in very poor disguise). What it needs is for someone to periodically go through the whole thing tidying it up - not a fun job, admittedly, but a necessary one. (This does happen with some articles, and you can tell the difference.)
