When a registered user or IP address makes an edit it is expected that the edit be viewed as being made in good faith, assuming good faith is a fundamental principle on Wikipedia, assume that when someone makes an edit to an article they are doing so for constructive purposes and are not deliberately trying to disrupt, or vandalise Wikipedia, in minor cases some edits are made to purposefully harm the project but it is simply a minority compared to dedicated editors who are constantly endeavouring to improve the project. At times some users make a edit which whilst is good faith, is not constructive, and is therefore Reverted they then undo the revert to restore their added information, sometimes without discussion and eventually it can become tiring for some users to continue assuming good faith as the editing becomes slightly disruptive. Whatever the reason is to someone's edit people will always continue to assume good faith when editing here.
