 Yeah, there's a reason I stopped contributing to Wikipedia long, long ago. 

 Even with well sourced, factual contirbutions a slew of "editors" jumped in and reverted the changes with no explanation  over and over again.

 I had contributed to the LaTeX page a few times, and got a messages from a few different people asking me if I was "into latex".

 They weren't talking about the markup language...
