Some communities have a latest substantial author owns the page policy, along with a major edits only policy, which tends to work better for math and CS where there’s a lot of people who want to make micro corrections.

Technical communities also value professional credentials and prestige as a blockbuster, so it may be helpful to reveal your professional achievements.

Wikipedia generally does not (if anything it would probably count against you as most people who bring that sort of thing up are lying about them anyways).

Sometimes people are unfairly reverted, but often people are reverted for good reason and have problems accepting that their edit simply was not a positive change to the page.
