My intent for editing on Wikipedia is to focus on technology and computer science articles, which aligns with my expertise and scholarly interests. But, right now, I am really just focused on learning the MOS intensively, so my editing is not aligned to any particular subject area.
I cite the MOS on all of my edits, as closely as possible given both my knowledge (which is still limited) and the granularity of the guidance (which varies). I do pay attention if my edits are reverted, and I do tend to seek an explanation if the rationale for the reversion is not clear to me when I review it.
In doing so, I objectively cite my understanding for the edit, how I think the MOS applies, and ask for advisement relative to that. I tend to also ask follow-up questions around the topic, as well, which, I understand, can probably be annoying to some. But it's a good way for us all to learn, and I have learned a lot from these interactions with more experienced editors.
