If you'd like to get your feet wet on a POV dispute, where things may have died down a bit, check [[:Category:NPOV disputes]]. There are articles there which have been tagged for over a year (some for over 10 years!), and could benefit from a spotcheck. If there's still discussion ongoing at the talkpage, you may wish to participate. Otherwise, you may wish to post a note at talk, asking if there is still a dispute. If it's not clear which part of the article is disputed, and no one replies, just remove the tag. If it's clear, but no one replies within a few days, you may wish to either fix it yourself, or simply delete the problematic section, remove the tag, and go on to the next article in the category.
 
Other good places to find disputes are at [[WP:RFC|Requests for comment]], [[WP:ANI]], [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Admin enforcement requested]], or one of the [[WP:DR|Dispute resolution noticeboards]],. or check a site such as Wikirage, which maintains a listAny of the pages being reverted most rapidly on any given day.[http://www.wikirage.com/top-edits/24/Reversions/] The top few articles there may simply be articles that have higher traffic than usual because they have been listed on the [[Main Page]], butthese otherslocations may be embroiled in a war that could benefit from admin intervention.
