[[Wikipedia:Cite your sources]]
If one has a citation and the other doesn't, then the uncited one is
likely to be correct. If neither has one, then the item probably
ought to be removed. There would be a citation somewhere about the
correct answer to the dispute, and this ought to be displayed.
It doesn't matter how right your reverts are, if you break the 3RR,
you get blocked. Period.

I've asked for help on articles, only to have other editors
say "I don't know enough about the topic; I can't do
anything." JayJG points out this same issue.
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.
