Much familiar argument from threads here. Some of the usual suspects 
commenting, and everyone putting in their two cents. Somewhere in the 
middle is a debate struggling to get out: is the volume of reversions 
indicative of good gatekeeping (poor edits to popular and well-developed 
articles have little chance of sticking), or bad gatekeeping 
(established editors assert ownership)? Stats from 2007 and 2009 show a 
step-change of some sort, as we know, but don't really prove that there 
is a current trend (we could be going sideways).
