Since the POV pusher is someone who is repeatedly, consistently and with 
malice aforethought inserting material that goes against Wikipedia policy, 
I think it would be best to expedite the work of ArbCom so that the 
POV-pusher can simply be banned rather than setting up a group of official 
edit warriors whose job is to try out-pushing him on his own terms. I 
believe edit wars would be just as troublesome when they're officially 
sanctioned as when they aren't.
