Reverts

Agreed. No one likes seeing their work reverted.

But it's also one of the central features of the Wiki system. So we're not going to get rid of reverts.

The next best thing would be to help new users understand why things are reverted. (One idea: for new users, have the revert edit summary CC'd to their user talk page.) Another helpful strategy would be to steer new users away from high-conflict pages that are more likely to be reverted, and push them towards improving articles where novices are likely to be most helpful.
