There is a new debate about what might more accurately be described as POV Battleground articles, and it is to be found at Wikipedia:Advocacy articles (T-H-L-K-D). The good news is that they are actually trying to formulate some sort of response to the problem, and among the suggestions are various types of disclaimer labels that warn the reader to expect opinion, not fact. That, IMO, would be a step in the right direction. In other words, abandon the pretense of being an "encyclopedia."

I have a simple solution for that: any article where there is fighting gets the bar. Any article where there is not unanimous agreement on NPOV gets the bar. In fact, the bar should be the default setting.

(IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/wtf.gif) Unanimity? I know of internet conspiracy theorists who dispute the veracity Maxwell's Equations and others who think that the US Internal Revenue Service is unconstitutional.

But I guess if your plan is to completely destroy Wikipedia, I'd get behind this easy to fuck with, lulz-trolling "rule".
