editors like you are what is wrong with Wikipedia. What you are doing is making Wikipedia worse. You are not interested in actual information, or helping people, but in enforcing the rules. It is really disgusting. What is worse is how people who want to make Wikipedia better, such as providing accurate and helpful information are simply argued with and actively discouraged from participating. You say trash the place then leave but what  has done is actually provide references. He doesn't have to do anything else. That is what the small-minded over-zealous editors should be doing, namely taking the actual informative content and doing their little grammar and formatting edits. That is all you are good for, so do it, do that work. Stop discouraging people with actual content from participating with the threatening notes. Such a tragedy of the commons.
