Well... here's my experience with user Ulamm. He sure has taken away part of the fun it was contributing to this project.
I've noticed he made some changes to the use_sidepath <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:bicycle%3Duse_sidepath> wiki. I asked him in a private mail for the reason of the changes since they did not make sense to me nor was I aware of some proposal or a discussion on the tagging mailinglist. His changes were reverted by Mateusz but Ulamm changed the wiki almost instantly. Ulamm could not (and still can not) give me any reference to a discussion or whatever that would justify the changes he made. In the private mail it was very clear to me that Ulamm wanted to discuss with me why his change was good for OSM. I instead wanted to make clear to him that he should get consensus first and after that change the wiki. For this reason I decided to continue on the TALK page instead of private mail. You can read that in Talk <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:bicycle%3Duse_sidepath>page from "bicycle=yes everywhere" Apart from that fact that there is no consensus on the change he made I also pointed him to the wiki page on "tag for routing/Access restrictions <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Access-Restrictions>" with which his change conflicts. He now states that it does not conflict because those the road types under discussion are excluded from this wiki. That was new to me so I was surprised. I found out that this wiki was also changed by Ulamm by adding a paragraph by the name of "Special feature: Roadside cycletracks". So Ulamm seems to change one wiki and justifies with another wiki he has just changed. My impression is that he does not want to reach consensus but just changes wiki pages to his liking. IMHO this is a very bad development undermining the wiki pages and the way we should should reach agreement in OSM. I am wondering what your opinion is on this.
