The main issue with Wikipedia is that its main focus is providing references rather than being spot-on accurate[1], which is more useful for subjective and cultural subjects where the objective accuracy can not be trivially determined. For a STEM-focused platform, it would be beneficial to have a process where articles can only be edited if sources are provided (so there would never be a "citation needed" tag).
