Regarding these reverts:

While I'm pretty sure the avoidance of parenthesis is mentioned somewhere in the guidelines, if someone adds information in parenthesis, that alone doesn't make the information any less viable. It's just been styled in a less-than-ideal way, and should be reformatted, rather than reverted, if anything. Editors should be careful with reverts and not use them as a catch-all solution to any problem introduced into an article. More often than not, with a little effort, a better solution exists.
