By the way, I'm assuming that some edits will be of the sort "I would normally remove the material and start a talk page discussion". In that case, is the right thing to do to approve the edit and then remove the material and start a talk page discussion, and presumably as a reviewer, your edit removing the material won't be caught up in flagged revisions itself?
Starting a separate thread since this is off of the naming topic.
I don't think it's necessary to accept the edit, since the unaccepted version is never really marked as "rejected" in the edit history per se, but rather, just never gets promoted. The edit will still exist in the edit history, so it's not lost forever.
The right thing to do is to do the exact same thing you would do with an unprotected page. If it's not obviously vandalism, you can use the undo function with a polite note in the edit comment to discuss the change on the talk page. Presumably, you're doing this as an autoconfirmed user, which means that your edits will be automatically accepted.
