I think an admin undeleting a speedy should always leave a note to the 
deleting admin, explaining why. The usual reason would be that a mistake 
of some kind (e.g. on copyright) has been made in applying CSD. If there 
is an issue of a judgement call on notability it might be better to 
discuss with the deleting admin first. Of course there is common sense 
to apply: if the deletion was for nonsense content, and I'm recreating 
the topic with sensible content, that is hardly "reversing an admin 
action". But where it is a case of reversing a considered action of 
another admin, not just sorting out a mistake, our code of admin conduct 
suggests strongly that you consult first (if the urgency is low).
