Your addition has been challenged more than once. Stop popping up every now and then and adding it back. Make your case on the essay talk page. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 16:07, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
- I notice that undoing the text "reversion shouldn't be a first choice in editing" is a demonstration that, in your opinion, reversion without discussion should be a first choice in editing, or at least, it's your first choice in editing.NumberC35 (talk)
- Only when reverting should be the first choice. And in the controversial or otherwise contentious topics I work in, reverting first is often the best choice. The essay already suggests that we consider WP:Revert only when necessary. That is enough. The essay should not be telling editors "reversion should be a last choice in editing"; that's because this is not always true. Again, I suggest you make your case on the essay talk page instead of re-adding a statement that I or others am likely to object to. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 05:42, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- Revert only when necessary is precisely what I was saying. Specifically:

- Reverting tends to be hostile, making editing Wikipedia unpleasant.
- What part of this are you having problems with? Yes, of course, if it's vandalism, revert. Vandalism is not likely to be amenable to BRR in any case. It's the non vandalism edits to which "Reversion should not be your first choice" applies.NumberC35 (talk) 02:57, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
