Why do PDBwiki and Proteopedia compete for contributors and readers?

I find it confusing to have too many different wikis organized around PDB.
I never know where to direct students for further information, nor
what information is available where.  As a result, I rarely end up
directing people to either site.  The probability of having more
information than what is directly available from PDB is too small.

It would be better, I think, if the various wikis could merge, so that
the energy of the community was concentrated rather than divided.
