Do you revert the edits, or do you undo them?

If you revert edits, I'd recommend you don't unless they're blatantly vandalism. It's always better to leave an edit summary, so that people know why their edits have been reverted. Also, if the parts of the revision are good, you can often salvage that bit in the edit.

I'd encourage editors to, if they're not sure - make the changes, they can always be corrected by people who know better than them. Then you can learn from what others do to your edits. Even if you're not 100% sure of policies, edits should be welcomed, and a community that just reverts because it doesn't like a small style aspect won't attract contributors that will stick around and improve.
