	Wikipedia:Lamest edit wars ever - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ann Coulter, edit war over whether she was born in 1961 or 1963, settled at 1961 after some damning evidence was found.
		Edit war involving three sysops over whether there should be commas in "10000" and "1000." Leads to a blocking and liberal use of the rollback button.
		Later in the edit war, no less than two thousand five hundred numbers of debated oddness (every second integer from 1 to 4999) were added and removed, four hundred ninety eight of them repeatedly before the edit war was solved by the article's deletion after a VfD vote.

	Wikipedia:Edit war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some people consider that an edit war is when two or more contributors repeatedly revert one another's edits to an article.
		The second usage is harder to identify clearly, and individuals sometimes disagree on whether a particular editing episode constitutes edit warfare.
		Especially in the case of less experienced contributors who are genuinely making poor edits, being reverted by two or more people often (not in the case of a hot issue that stirs fanatical feelings) demonstrates that the reversions are probably not a one man crusade, but something closer to a consensus.

	Edit wars - Meta
		The term edit war is a misnomer, but a catchy misnomer that is not likely to be replaced by a more apt term.
		And, it makes it difficult for uninvolved users to make edits, since participants in an edit war are unlikely to be careful about merging third-party changes.
		A quick and dirty solution to the edit war phenomenon would be a software edit war adversaries to plead their cases to a sysop to unprotect any article that has been automatically protected.

	MSN Encarta - Napoleonic Wars
		The Napoleonic Wars were a continuation of the wars of the French Revolution (1789-1799), in which the Habsburgs and other dynastic rulers of Europe combined in an effort to overthrow the revolutionary government of France and restore the rule of the French monarchy.
		An important consequence of this war was Napoleon's abandonment, because of the need to concentrate his resources in Europe, of his plan to establish a great French colonial empire in the region known as Louisiana in North America.
		The ensuing war is known as the War of the Third Coalition.

	Wikipedia and the Future of Social Computing. Many-to-Many:
		It is true that a revertion or deletion of inaccurate material sometimes causes a lot or heated edit wars.
		But if the authors present references to academic research works substantiating their edits, then the edit wars do not proceed further.
		Meaning as long as there is room for doubt on materials written, there is room for edit wars based on personal debate, which by the way is what makes a topic controversial in the first place.

	Wikinfo \| Critical views of Wikipedia
		Such unecessary editing results in "edit wars" and "flame wars", in which two or more contributors revert each other's edits, contributing nothing to the community.
		The users' edits will be reverted, and the article(s) in question will remain hopelessly wrong or "slanted", solely due to the strength of the community, rather than the burden of facts.
		Due to the limitations of their views and resulting software, the labeling of a suspect author's IP address, pseudonyms and "sock puppets", as a banned author is quite common as well, and justifies for some administrators an extension of blocking tactics and invasions of privacy, based on ad hominem reasoning.
