The Great Edit War was an edit war involving the national origin of the Caesar salad. It became famous (or rather infamous depending POV) when it was featured on Misplaced Pages:Lamest edit wars and some Revolutionary veterans told their horrible "blocked times". Thus, a Wikipedian POW-MIA flag came popular.
Background
A slow-motion edit war happened for 11 years whether the Caesar salad was created in Mexico in 1924 or in Ancient Rome. Aside from its national origin, its etymology was included in the more than one-decade edit war.
Factions
There were two factions, like in most wars.
Reactionaries
They were people who supported saying the Caesar salad article saying it was made in Mexico. Lots of anti-vandal bots classified as vandals, of course or why would we mention them?
Revolutionaries
They were the opposite of the Reactionaries, they supported the article saying it was made in Rome. They are seen as vandals who, most of them at least, didn't mean to vandal.
