I had the same issue with a bunch of grammar and spelling edits. The explanation I got from other editors (with super high edit counts) was this. (paraphrased)
Your edit was reverted because it counts as an "edit" for the person who reverted it. The higher your edit count the higher you are in the unofficial power structure of wikipedia. If your edit count gets high enough you can become an admin/mod and really start getting power over other users.
That was back in ~2005. I never tried to make another edit. I simply have better things to do with my time then to play these petty bullshit games.
