I can only agree. Even it is not the intention to keep people away,
people will feel like they have to consult with the author on every
edit. This works against the goal of wikis: providing complete, correct,
and understandable information.

IMHO people who don't have edit access to a page, should send
corrections to the list. As an author I am far more comfortable with
that. Pretty often, I don't have time to handle such
corrections/suggestions. On the list, others can pick it up, and if
someone provides useful fixes, give edit access.
