"I tried once or twice to edit articles but was quickly rejected by editors that usually believe they sort of "own" the content."
I have experienced this as well. It is difficult to believe and truly inexplicable, but there is some perceived status related to editing articles and making contributions to wikipedia.
It is very safe to generalize the young, white, male keyboard commandos who are staking out their turf in this way.
