Then request it be protected  I just think that jumping straight to ANI for a dispute between a handful of editors in a lowtraffic article is likely premature  If its so bad that it needs immediate admin attention then I would expect experienced editors like yourself and SwatJester to make specific recommendations at ANI  Or more likely report the problem at RR or RFP as appropriate and then continue the dispute resolution process as appropriate  If these editors are truly problematic history of blocks sockpuppets etc then that should be mentioned It just seems like a garden variety heated content dispute and I dont see why that should be immediately posted to ANI
