Seriously, though, how misfortunate is that? The

occasional POV war, are utterly inevitable. What gratifies me is
that, most of the time, we still *do* do a good job of finding
the elusive NPOV middle ground. I don't have more than a few
thousand edits myself, but I've had the *pleasure* of wandering
into a couple of POV battles on contentions subjects, learning
a bit more about those subjects, learning a bit more about the
personalities involved, and contributing some compromise wordings
which both sides accepted and which are among my proudest
Wikipedia edits.
Well, true. For me, Wikipedia is still so big, and at such an early
stage of development, that spending hours fighting over a couple of
sentences isn't a good use of my time. Meanwhile, the hundreds of
different types of pastas are barely stubs (look at [[Fettucini]]),
and they're all grouped into one thematic category - Pasta. We've got
work to do! :)
