Wiki is infested with content nazis who are intent on enforcing "the rules".
You don't need to put quotes around it, there really are a few rules of Wikipedia, and no-original-research is one of them. I think it's a little rude that nobody told Henry why they were reverting his edit, but that's the attitude a lot of open-source projects have: we'd love you to contribute, but take it on yourself to learn the rules first.
Overall, it's probably a necessary affliction to prevent it from becoming just another platform for spam.
Not only that, it's to keep it an encyclopedia, and to improve the quality. --Steve
