'''Etiquette rule:'''

:'''Favour improving another person's edits rather than deleting them.'''

This follows naturally from the previous rule. If another editor thinks that his change should be in there, then clearly you cannot have a reasonable expectation that the first editor, at least, will accept you deleting his edit. So improving his edit (perhaps from ''The world is 4.5 billion years old'' to ''Secular geologists believe that the world is 5.6 billion years old'') is better than simply deleting.
