Reverting is undoing one or more changes to put an article back in its old state.
You must be familiar with the Three-Revert Rule (3RR). Remember though that this rule does not entitle users to three reverts per 24 hours, you can still be blocked for this. Rather, it is instituted as an emergency defense system against those who do too many of them in a 24-hour period.
Reverting is very useful against vandalism though. If you caught some vandalism, you can consider reverting it back to a vandal-free copy. This does not count against the 3RR. Even if you happen to do 10 reverts on a single article within 24 hours, if they were all because of vandalism, you will not be legitimately blocked.
