This answer has become a CW, presumably because it was edited several times. It cites Martin Fowler, but the quotation is paraphrased, so I edited it, posting the original quote and a link to the document from which came the quote.

The original answerer removed my change. If it were still "his" answer, I would be OK with it, but if it's really going to be CW, doesn't that mean it's owned by the community, or am I misunderstanding the semantics of CW?

The original poster has the same standing to edit as everyone else having sufficient rep to edit. In fact, suggested edits have pretty much invalidated the notion of community-owned posts (since anyone can suggest an edit).
