Same thing happened to me but in my case, I added a simple "citation needed" on a statement that was objectively false (can be proven by simply going to the vendor's landing page). The citation needed tag got reverted almost instantly and I was told that adding this tag was inappropriate and constituted sabotage. I never clicked that edit tab again. The thing is, I don't blame the editor. He's high on the smell of his own farts. I blame wikipedia for enabling him. At least with stack overflow, they try to make fighting against this kind of corruption easier by making it's voting-based moderation system visible. Not wikipedia. It's opaque. It reminds me a lot of governments. Anyway, I still notice false statements on wikipedia from time to time, but I always smirk to myself and carry on :)
