Something like this would help a great deal, I think. I've been in a
few disputes where I was pretty certain that if the wider community
was
aware of the dispute, my position was pretty obviously the way to go,
but the problem was that I was fighting with the very small group of
people who cared about the page, who had very particular views. A
common way to resolve this in the past has been emailing wikien-l (or
the appropriate language list) asking people to take a look at the
article, but as Wikipedia gets bigger this method doesn't scale very
well, and also tends to result in a lot of content discussion on the
list that should really be on the talk pages.

How about a "Special:Active Pages" that would list the top 'n' most
active pages -- where active would be defined as number of edits over a
period of time, where adjacent edits by the same user are treated as
one edit.
Would this help in the sort of situation you're referring to? Or is
edit activity not a good measure?
