- Cauliflower - Is cauliflower nutritious? Is specifying what parts are usable POV?
- List of numbers that are always odd - the number 3 was being considered as possibly being not odd. Page protection was needed to halt the heated debate. User:Wik's correction of a misspelling of hypochondriacs was re-reverted no less than 3 times, and the link to a non-existent page for the incorrect spelling is still in place as of this writing. Later in the edit war, no less than two thousand five hundred humbers of debated oddness were added and removed, four hundred ninety eight of them repeatedly.
- Atheism - edit war continued for several days to consider exactly which God or gods Atheists prefer not to believe in. Specifically, do they not believe in all gods, including God, or merely disbelieve in all gods with no specific inclusions?
- Wikipedia:Yet_more_bad_jokes_and_other_deleted_nonsense#Edit_conflicts - the edit war on the Wikipedia:Edit conflicts page, preserved in Yet More Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense.
- Gdanzisk - edit wars have been occuring for most of a year as regards the exact name of this
PolishGermanPrussianEasternCentral European city.
- Wikipedia:Requests for de-adminship - Wik's nominations of 9 Wikipedia:Wikicops were moved; the wikicops page itself got in a move war about a week later and ended back at Wikipedia:Administrators.
