There's two kinds of ownership. One is paternal, one is possessive.
"That's my article, I created it, I'm very pleased with it" vs.
"That's my article, get your hands off it"

The former is what contests like this tend to create, and it's
harmless (and in many ways to be encouraged). I'm not sure a contest
like this would produce the latter any more than the normal
article-rating process does...
