therefore the other pages have become POV forks. Unlocking this page would be exactly the wrong move – it would remove any pressure on that group to mediate or negotiate, and only result in the resumption of the edit warring that caused the original protection. As an admin, I never unprotect an article that I protect due to edit warring, unless I have personally verified that there are improved chances for meaningful negotiations and collaboration. I don't see any such changes in this case – the fact that one side absolutely refuses mediation speaks volumes.

My concept of judicious would be to select only the most important or relevant places to link. For instance, Gettysburg has dozens of articles about the campaign and battle and literally hundreds of articles about men, women, and units who fought there. I'd recommend linking only from Battle of Gettysburg and Gettysburg Campaign (assuming you also animate the campaign as a whole). .......
