It is possible that you could generate a better 'pedia than Wikipedia simply by datamining the version history of a Wikipedia article and trying to resurrect, or piece together, a better version of the article from the previous versions. It's not quite as stupid an idea as it sounds: many Wikipedia article histories are a series of small improvements punctuated by massive destructions (large deletions or misguided rewrites), and if the damage isn't caught immediately it doesn't get fixed at all.
