Exactly. As my watchilist grows I find myself spending no time actually creating content, and all my time monitoring existing articles with painfully reached NPOV, as each new POV warrior discovers Wikipedia and decides to add a few "relevant" comments promoting his/her POV, which in turn prompts other to insert their own POV, etc. Or, as I've more recently been experiencing, the replace the article entirely with their own POV version. In the latter case, if they don't ultimately get their way, they often create new articles with their own POV under similar titles, or highly POV titles, as a back-door to getting their way. If these articles are eventually discovered, they are often listed for VfD or re-direct, a process which usually takes further weeks of negotiation. In the end, we're either left with wikijunk, or a mass of overlapping articles, or (in the best case) the POV warriors eventually abandon their quest, having wasted many person-days of individual editors times which could have been far more profitably spent creating new content.

If the authors are having to create new articles to add their POV, then may I suggest that they are not getting a fair hearing on Wikipedia?
