   The reason I (tried to) cancel my reply to you was because it was   
   wrong (as well as being snarky).   
      
   Having spent/wasted more time reading Wikipedia policies in detail, I   
   don't understand why the OP's edit was reverted, as it doesn't appear   
   to me to contradict either the citation or original research policies,   
   so I've asked about it on the talk page of the article. (The right   
   place - not the talk page of the user who reverted the change.)
