Default The total mass of meteorites

Some good people say that "2900-7300 kilograms per year hit Earth". Why
this information is banned from Wikipedia? Secondly, 2013 Russian meteor
"weighed about 10 tons before it entered the Earth's atmosphere"

Am I read right? Is it really a single meteorite weights the mass of all
meteorites per year? How much mass do meteorite loose when burning in
the atmosphere?
