No offence, but I think you answered your own question:

Could someone explain to me why an email verification of the user that is about to edit on your wiki is restricting editing?!

Yes it would... especially since for one project I would like to lock it down to a specific domain. And opening a gmail account is an additional step that a lot of people don't want to take.
So, you are restricting edits to those who can or will take that extra step. Whether that's good or bad is open for discussion, but surely the fact that "locking it down" is "restricting it" is as plain as day?
Meanwhile, what do you mean be locking down "to a specific domain" - do you mean that you're planning to use e-mail verification as a way of authenticating that the users already hold accounts on some other service? If so, out of curiosity, are there other possibilities (LDAP, checks in a shared database), some of which may already have been implemented?
