Aye I personally think "edit" is much simpler for people then
"revision"
which I think will confuse more people, especially English learners/2nd
language (COI notice: Simple English Wikipedia). When I made the argument on
the discussion page most people were against it because they felt people
would see "edit" as meaning every little change they did (so there were lots
of edits in each revision) but I still think that most would consider an
edit==revision.

Indeed "revision" and "review"
makes the impression that much more is
done than actually is. (Revision = not only a check, but also
alterations, it sounds to me.) I am afraid that is the problem with
pretty much of all the expressions that have been put in forum.
In German Wikipedia, our word "gesichtet" is a little bit strange.
"Sichten" is like spotting a rare animal in the wilderness.
Actually, the subject we should talk about is not an article or a
"revision", but the version that has been changed by an edit.
Kind regards

Also Review is clearly a term for a process,
unlike Revisions.
The downside is that 'Review' could be linked to an editorial review, and
hence people might expect to get feedback on their revision rather than a
simple 'yes/no'. I'd also personally link the name more to paid reviewing
than volunteer checking.
Combining the two, and removing the potential bad bits (i.e. "double" and
"review") how about "Checked Revisions"?
