Leave them. Edit them now and then. Cite references for all your changes. Use cleanup tags liberally. Use NPOV tags as necessary.
A nice sentiment, but in this case naive - I slapped dispute tags on them, and I'm already being threatened with reverts. I fully expect to be reverted by morning. If one cannot even insert a dispute tag without starting an edit war, how do you propose that the articles will be fixed?
Obviously just sticking an {{NPOV}} tag on a politically charged article is going to get that response. Like any other use, if you fail to document what it is you take issue with people are going to revert the tag - as they should rightly do. You know that as well as I do.
