When a closed/dupe post is edited, it automatically is dumped into a special queue ("nominated" for reopening) and enough votes will get it reopened.

Meta is your venue to appeal closure (though usually we prefer you wait and let the normal reopening process take place as Nathan C outlined.

Having looked at your question it adds some value on top of the marked duplicate, so I've reopened it.
