I would echo the suspicion that the problems here are cultural and not technical, however, I think the solution is kind of technical. Basically, in future why assume we have one definitive repository of objective fact? The notion is ridiculous. What I believe will happen is a git-ification of Wikipedia, so you can fork the whole thing, run your own when you disagree with the direction, and pull in changes from those you trust. If you're going to attempt to fix this class of problems this is the only way forward.
