Why are there two wikis related to Ubuntu?
The first one is Community Help Wiki and the second one is Ubuntu-wiki.
Both of them seem to be related to the community. Are the sites the same?

From what I can see, the Ubuntu Wiki is more professional and more officially maintained, with less community articles by just anyone and more articles created by official groups.
It's also a hub for official information about Ubuntu and the related teams (LoCo teams info, Governance & Membership, etc.)
On the other hand, the CommunityHelpWiki is just that. It's a Community wiki intended for helping people with problems, as opposed to providing them with facts. It's also a bit larger, with tutorials being the main focus.

I think they are there to do different things - https://help.ubuntu.com/ has official and community documentation on how to use Ubuntu and do things with it - e.g. using the launcher. The community section is maintained by the community, and has various guides on different things (e.g Radoen graphics and drivers, Security etc.)
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ seems to be more about 'What is Ubuntu?', as well as how to contribute to Ubuntu (as well as events) and the current Ubuntu releases.

They are for two distinct uses:
- Contributing to Ubuntu itself: http://wiki.ubuntu.com
- Helping users use Ubuntu: http://help.ubuntu.com/community
