Maybe wikipedia should start to move to a git-style of collaboration? Anonymous or semi-committed members can make or arrange small contributions that may or may not fit all the requirements. More senior members collate and merge contributions together. There would be multiple branches of a page to support re-organizations or new page sections....
Or perhaps support different "levels" of "encyclopedianess"? At the top are only articles that are of encyclopedia level contribution, then as you go down the rules slacken up a bit. All new contributions start at the bottom, say...level 5, and have to be accepted by editors at each higher level.
That way if a reader doesn't care for the hyper-strict top level, they can view more inclusive information down the lower levels.
If the site grows too big/strict and more levels are needed, it should be relatively trivial to add another level down.
I dunno, just a thought.
