Frankly, given how the rate of RC is going by, I dont see how we can do with the current protection policy - page protections should be typical and used as necessary; bans on users should not.
Some pages are well known to attract controversy, and therefore protection/ abstrated edits by a mediator that addresses comments on the talk.
The trick is to find editors that actually write well in addition to listen and address the concerns; with Ed out of the loop, WP will be shorthanded.

Protecting [[Current events]] is hardly workable ...
If he keeps to one login, that's a much better idea and at least then you're dealing with a single identity. Using anon IPs for sockpuppetry is distinctly bad behaviour.
