Well, I think that some of Wikipedia's articles suffer from imbalances 
and lack of focus. This is probably the result of cooperative editing 
without restructuring:
- when there's an "edit war" on a particular aspect of the topic, this 
aspect usually gets documented by quotes, references etc by both 
parties, leading to an inflated coverage of the opinions surrounding 
this aspect
- some editors have pet peeves and will over-document whatever is 
related to it.
