I think the {{contradicting}} template is problematic because it doesn't require the user to specify what the supposed contradiction is. Some people seem to add it as if it was an intrinsic property of the subject, rather than a request to fix something. When I removed it with the comment "Please don't add the contradiction tag without giving your reasons on the Talk page, otherwise I won't know what to fix in the article", it was simply added back in with the edit summary "who keeps removing that template?".
