| Dec 18, 2012 at 13:58 | comment | added | posdef | @cfi Once a question or an answer is edited, the original poster is notified to review the edits. You can then edit the edits, or do a complete rollback. Besides the editors name and badge are shown, so anyone can see what whether or not the question/answer was edited, and if so, what was changed. | |
| Dec 18, 2012 at 11:37 | comment | added | cfi | On the other hand, and to disagree with myself and agree with you @posdef, an edit can help educate the user, and if it considerably improves the question, said user may earn more reputation based on the work of the editor. It's a difficult topic, I suppose. | |
| Dec 18, 2012 at 11:36 | comment | added | cfi | I disagree with that sentiment: Editing should be done to correct minor errors without introducing a new meaning to the post. Granted, if editing a post of a user who's obviously no longer interested in it, that may be ok. But most people feel bad if their content is manipulated without prior consent. Also, remember, that even though others can see it has been edited, the post is still attributed to a user. Editing has to be done very carefully in order to support users and not alienate them. | |
| Dec 17, 2012 at 20:22 | comment | added | posdef | @cfi a veeeery late answer to your question: "What do we do if the Q is not changed, but we'd like to keep it - if it would be phrased a more open way? Resubmit it like a copycat?" Simple: edit it! ;) That's the beauty of SE sites, it's all about the community effort. We create the content for this site, altogether | |
| Nov 5, 2012 at 16:33 | comment | added | cfi | On a side note: I'm with the closing decision of that one. And agree to the fact that Tony Madsen's answer answers a better question that unfortunately hadn't been asked. I believe the order of things is important: First, nudge asker in better direction, second wait a bit (maybe a Tony pops up and answers a unasked broader Q), third close if not changed. | |
| Nov 5, 2012 at 16:32 | comment | added | cfi | Thanks posdef, for actually making better points and splendid examples of how to phrase questions to open them up to a wider audience. That's what I'd like to see. What do we do with a Q such as the one I linked to? We cannot edit them for the asker in a way like posdef demo'ed here. We can only nudge the asker in the direction. What do we do if the Q is not changed, but we'd like to keep it - if it would be phrased a more open way? Resubmit it like a copycat? No idea. | |
| Nov 5, 2012 at 15:25 | comment | added | posdef | I think that's a tragically ill-formulated question for this site's format, and the only answer that I find useful (as someone on the other side of the ocean) is Tonny Madsen's. Given that there has not been an edit to make it interesting for everyone, I am behind the closing decision. It's completely irrelevant for the majority of the users. | |
| Nov 5, 2012 at 13:55 | comment | added | user527 | How would the question above compare to this one (all constructivity aside)? | |
| Nov 5, 2012 at 13:54 | comment | added | user527 | Agreed that localization of a sport should not be much of a concern, especially if it adds value. Also, on point with the examples. | |
