You keep writing suggesting this. But the fact is, intentionally
POV-forked articles are simply never going to exist on the Wikipedia
project. The culture just won't accept it; the basic operating rules
just won't extend to it. If you feel it is so essential, please feel
free to take the database, fork it, and go work on another project.

But continually harping on about forked! articles! solution! to! all!
problems! achieves nothing.
