 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
If you can't or won't explain your revert, don't make it. If you revert without an edit summary your reverting edit may be reverted with an edit summary citing your lack of explanation. That edit summary may refer to this essay.
