English wiki Unsourced BLP Drama Pragmatic Review

This looks like an ugly one. But it's exactly the kind of situation that needs to be resolved in a way that ends in a compromise. My greatest fear isn't that one side gets their way, because that's extremely unlikely on Wikipedia, where consensus is king. My greatest fear is, instead, this conflict continues on with both sides nibbling around the edges. Someone gets blocked for a revert war, someone else gets de-sysopped, someone else gets blocked for canvassing, and another person gets blocked for incivility... all while every attempt at a compromise results in "no consensus".

We know that both sides have power in numbers, and both sides have legitimate grievances.

The question is if this is going to lead to both sides endlessly blocking each other... or both sides working towards a middle ground.
