Agreed. I really hate this crap. When folks put a claim, they should bother to actually real the article in order reconcile their new with any competing claims, and the article should reflect this reconciliation. If folks can't be bothered to make their additions to an article non-contradictory, they might as well leave the article alone. There is absolutely no excuse for leaving an article in this state, and whoever is responsible for this should be ashamed of their laziness.
