It's no problem. I always thought it was silly to have credit given for finding freely available information. It would be like saying I "invented" the Quadratic Formula because I looked it up or I "discovered" the Pythagorean Theorem because I read it in my textbook.

Now that it has been removed, it might as well stay removed.

If someone says "we should give credit to people that found this" we can just say "all the work on this wiki is the work of the community as a whole." Because it is.

If a contributor really needs to let others know what they have done, I suppose they can write it on their own profile page. There is no need to have it on the public page in my opinion.
