we gently train and cajole POV warriors into becoming fine upstanding NPOV encyclopedia editors; rather, I think its primary purpose is to create a great encyclopedia.
The community writes the 'pedia. A 'great' community is actually quite well characterised by its attitude to joiners. Particularly, here, newbies with other Internet experience who have something to say but are over-assertive and edit 'in the wrong register'.
I can quite see that working at the coalface of current affairs can jade one. On the other hand WP is limited in what it can do about that. There are a few thousand other years of human history to consider, as well as a huge range of other topics. I think _policy_ should not primarily be led by what are the echoes in WP of real world conflicts.
