One way to deal with the articles is to make a new system in which the relevance, popularity etc. are given points or something, so as the users themselves. This way, if a article becomes popular or scientificly proven, only a handfull of users who have the needed credentials to be able to contribute, limiting the number of bad article posts. Also a moderating scheme such as Slashdot could be devised for articles and users. So a user (or IP) with bad karma would not be able to break the article or fill it with nonsense, while new articles would be open for editing to everyone until it matures ... It is kind of constraining, but I think that would raise the quallity of Wikipedia alot.
