Ok, Jimbo, you're right. Let me amend my earlier statement: on the whole, the system is working, but in a few articles, it is not. Now, the question is this: what can be done about the problem? One solution that I favour is to have permanent protection on targetted pages, and have a nominated admin apply changes that are agreed upon by vote on the article's talk page. What do others think?
Consensus is a means to NPOV, not something that trumps it. A vote would exacerbate the recruitment problem you have described.
