I do my best to follow the Manual of Style when editing Wikipedia, even when it conflicts with my personal preferences. For instance, in most circumstances I use a precomposed ellipsis with a space after (e.g. A… B), but per MOS:ELLIPSIS I write A ... B) on Wikipedia.

I also strongly support WP:Revert only when necessary. I believe that one of the best methods of finding ways to contribute is reading Wikipedia articles. If I find that the article I'm reading needs improvement, I improve it. Rolling back to an older version is almost never the best way to improve an article. I never look for edits to revert; my watchlist is empty, and yours should be too.
