2. We need a way to discourage well-meaning but less-able editors
from crumbling good articles. On my watchlist I see a lot of editors
(some logins, some anons) adding nonsequiturs or redundancies,
randomly rearranging text, adding useless templates en masse, etc.
I've actually had some luck with this. If someone makes an edit that
doesn't hurt anything, but doesn't add anything either, I simply
revert with the edit summary "rv: not an improvement". This seems to
send a message to people that edits need to be constructive and have a
plan behind them. Just moving stuff around isn't good for the Wiki,
and a solitary edit like this could seem to have no effect, but in the
aggregate they can make for a ridiculously disorganized article that
is not at all a pleasure to read.
