Beyond his seeking potentially questionable changes, it's rather embarrassing I think for Wikipedia to have an edit war occuring over such a key policy. I've posted a request for folks to visit the page at AN and ANI, seemingly to no effect, so I figured I'd post here as well.
Considering this is *the* key Wikipedia content policy, I've blocked the idjit for blatant disruption and 6RR. I've also protected the page. Any admin who thinks the block or protection is egregious, *you* can childmind him. In the meantime, experienced admins are welcomed to try to fix the page.

Actually, Bensaccount has been improving the guidance on NPOV and appears to have been quite willing to discuss his reasoning, when questioned on the talk page.
More importantly, the version of this page before this revert by Katefan0 to a November 2005 version, was better and "fixing" the page would involve reverting back to Ben's last version first.
Incidentally, David, I believe the word you were looking for was eejit not idjit:) Take care.

I do think, though, regardless of whether his new version is better, one doesn't rewrite important policy like this. Better to make a subpage for the proposed new policy and hack on it there until it's into shape, let people comment on it, and then replace the policy page itself if people like the changes ...

That's my point as well. This page shouldn't just be tinkered with daily for two months, it's not a minor article. Changes like that need to be discussed before they get slapped into the live page.
