While I agree that using typesetters style quotation marks which are near universal in American usage would make sense as the article is written in American English the current Manual of Style calls explicitly for so called logical quotation in all circumstances So reverting your change to match that is well within another editor s purview And he did explain himself in that he included a link to the MOS so your reversion of his reversion was unnecessary as a your initial edits were an unneeded change and b it s not considered an acceptable style here Frankly I think it s stupid The rarity of so called logical style in standard American English means that people are forced to use an unfamiliar non standard grammar when writing in American English And there is nothing inherently superior about so called logical style The supposed accuracy it provides is based on a false idea that every single character between the quote marks must be part of the original material which treats all quotes as a string of characters which is not actual English just a machine like format But I digress
