Don't want to jump in here, but would like to respond to some points Jimeee makes here.
 * People who consider the policies too wordy and not worth reading should not be surprised when their edits are reverted.

Uh, no. Telling people that we should put up with wordy rules and not making efforts to correct issues in them is not helpful. I disagree with a lot of the stuff written in the MoS and I also find that some of them are extremely contradictory. There are some wiki's out there who get by with much shorter style guidelines than the walls of text written here. When I tried to point this out, I was ignored.
 * Evidence of users who needlessly revert an edits?

Erik the Mad goes around reverting edits, most of the time for little reason. It's why he has a talkpage history of at least hundreds of people who disagree with them.
