Wikipedia in the light of recent controversies

over copyright infringement (the inclusion of a articles from a former East German encyclopedia into the German Wikipedia)

over self-serving manipulations (the editing of articles about members of the American congress through their offices)

Are those controversies based on misunderstandings of the Wikipedia process, or does Wikipedia need

a version tracking system similar to the Linux kernel that makes each piece of the work trackable to its (unambiguously identified) author?
