The only thing we can do about it is what we've always done about it, and it's the best solution anyway: DESCRIBE EACH SIDE'S POV
You're not listening to the description of the actual problem. We get floods of the idjits to the point where people stop bothering with the problematic article. We get reversion warriors operating behind AOL proxies. In the case of user:Levzur, we have what is apparently a paid operative to push a particular POV.
You are responding with apparent homilies; please show their application to e.g. a simple case like Gdansk/Danzig. Not just something that would suffice for the (hypothetical) reasonable, but something that would actually slow down the less reasonable.
It's one thing to come up with a theoretically optimal solution. It's quite another to come up with a solution that is so obvious and elegant as to actually slow down the flood of crap.
