My confusion over episode 15 and the Lilith wiki page

I was watching episode 15 and around the end of the episode it has Kaji down in terminal dogma, and Misato sneaks up behind him with a gun. Kaji reveals to Misato that he is a government agent, and tells her that he is not the only one keeping secrets. he opens the doors leading into the top secret room, and shows Misato what is inside. he tells her that the angel inside the room is Adam, but the wiki (and everything else) tells me that it is Lilith. I'm quite confused over this so can anyone explain to me what the story is?

The fact is yes, that is Lilith. Kaji was either given false information, or came to false conclusions about the nature of the being in Terminal Dogma. He knows NERV has Adam (since he gave Gendo the sample), and most likely figured they had managed to return it to a giant-like stage. What this does is establish Kaji as a character who looks like he has everything figured out, until the end, where you realize that he was just as blind to the truth as most of the other characters. The reveal of the Terminal Dogma giant as Lilith is supposed to be a surprise to the audience when Kaworu figures it out it in episode 24.

The dogma giant is Lilith. Either Kaji was mistaken about the giant being Adam (which isn't very likely), or he didn't want to let Misato know that it was Lilith at that point of time. The script for the episode clearly identifies the giant as Lilith and gives a whole paragraph of explanation while Kaji calls it "Adam" in dialogue. Like Sephizim said, the misinformation sets up Lilith's identity in Episode 24 as a surprise.
