[Wikipedia-l] No consensus

[David Goodman]

Looking at current practice, there are several alternatives that may occur:
I. The most persistent win
Ia. the most highly skilled at WP dispute resolution win.
II. The parties continue to compromise until all agree on a bland version
III. One side starts a page from a different aspect (I almost said different
POV)
  or on a subtopic.
IIIa. If really skilled, one side constructs the articles for all possible
aspects and
  subtopics ahead of time & hopes to win on all fronts

There's a new version of Ia. if one loses at dispute resolution. Let the
other side make a
   page to its liking, and try to delete it. Repeat every few months until
success.

All the above are in technical conformity to the rules
