 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
 | This page in a nutshell: Keep an eye on content when evaluating behavior. |
Sometimes an edit war results when one side tendentiously edits content in a way that violates content policies such as verifiability, neutral point of view, nor original research, or what Wikipedia is not. In such cases, the article should not be protected by administrators. Instead, warn or block those who persist in damaging the encyclopedia.
