But maybe just a little bit, eh? 

As you know, people make mistakes and if your words were 'disrespected' it is
most likely a mistake or over-enthusiastic editing. And this being a wiki means
you can either correct the edit, complain to the Admin, or both.

But this is very early days and us mere mortals are bound to err at times.
Please don't take it personally as I'm sure nothing was meant by any editing to
your contributions.

On the other hand, if anyone feels that their contributions are sacrosanct then
they should not contribute to a public wiki. I know that I must be prepared to
deal with other people trampling all over my precious words.
