What is BRD?
The BOLD, revert, discuss cycle The BOLD is where making bold edits is encouraged, as it will result in either improving an article, or stimulating discussion.

It can sometimes be useful for identifying objections, keeping discussion moving forward and helping to break deadlocks. Care and diplomacy should be exercised. Some editors will see any reversion as a challenge, so be considerate and patient. BRD doesn't work well in all situations.
