            A __bad edit__ in a wiki is one that does not or should not last.

All editing in a wiki is about getting ((good edit))s to "stick" and making bad edits to go away.

A __bad edit__ can be any of the following:

*removes a ((good edit)) without explanation. Should have had an "edit comment"
*violates the revert rule (you should never revert a revert)
*adds misleading information or rhetoric
*omits vital information, or employs spin.
*one which discourages others from editing.
*one which ''weakens'' a positions being taken.
*reorganizes a page in a way that is not like other pages in the wiki.

Certain forms of __weak edits__ that verge on __bad__:
*too wordy.
*irrelevant to the page, or out of scope.
*uses too much jargon
*messy

The "bad"ness of an edit has nothing to do with whether you ''disagree'' with the content.
