if out of the thousands of Wikipedia editors you cannot find one single
person qualified to examine an article and spot editing so seriously bad
that it would justify your asking for us to set aside the three-revert
rule, your subject must be very arcane indeed.  How are we to tell which
of the two people editing the article is right?  What if *he* petitions
for the 3RR to be relaxed so that he can out-revert *you*?  How would we
know which was which?
You say "at least not for a few days", but you are allowed to perform
three reverts per day, so you don't have to wait for a few days to
continue with your precious edit-war.
