Not everyone gets into situations where that sort of disagreement comes
up. I don't think, in the last two years, I've ever had a situation that
would meet your criteria. Firstly, most of the articles I edit
significantly are ones I'm interested in, and tend to be too obscure to
get controversy on. Secondly, even more of my edits are spelling,
grammar, reformatting, wikifying, merges, disambiguations, redirects,
very recently categorization... etc. Thirdly, the rest of what I do is
quick [rollback] of blatant vandalism that there really isn't a
consensus to build for.
"Can fix things after they've gotten into a mess" restricts your set to
people who get into messes.
