There's quite often a bitter disagreement over one thing, which sadly
results in protection to stop the editwarring, despite general
agreement on more broad issues.

"[twelfth-century figure] is French!" "No, he's German!" "Dutch, you
cultural imperialists!"

 "...but other than that lede sentence, we need to do the following
dozen things to the section on his work."
