@TomHunter If there is an etiquette surrounding that, I wasn't aware of it - there is this on edit wars. Among other things, it states *Always* respect the original author. At least to me it seems like a good rule to follow. A corollary would be to edit foreign posts sensibly. And rarely.

| Jan 26, 2013 at 17:40 | comment | added | Tom Hunter | Please endeavor to put in useful edit comments and take into account edit comments whilst reviewing in future. | |
| Jan 26, 2013 at 17:24 | comment | added | Sven | As is said: Not relevant in this case, and most edit comments (including my own) are useless, so I don't really see them. And yes, I disagree with this fundamental aspect. I can live with that. | |
| Jan 26, 2013 at 17:19 | comment | added | Tom Hunter | Seems to me you're therefore disagreeing with a fundamental aspect of the StackExchange engine.. | |
| Jan 26, 2013 at 17:18 | comment | added | Tom Hunter | In your review window, you must be able to see my comment: "have clarified my question so removing request for clarification" | |
| Jan 26, 2013 at 17:17 | comment | added | Sven | As to the edit button: I somewhat disagree with the whole "anyone can edit" notion, this case being a prime example of why. | |
| Jan 26, 2013 at 17:16 | comment | added | Sven | Anyone can see why this part is there in the edit history of your question, so it wouldn't lead to confusion. If Massimo wants to edit this, he can. I wouldn't if it where my answer as it's not worth the time, and I would have rolled back the edit if others had approved it. Again, it's Massimo's answer, not mine or yours. Finally, although not relevant in this case: In the windows where I can approve or reject an edit, I don't see the context so it would be another action for me to look up the actual question and see if you might have edited the question to add the info. | |
| Jan 26, 2013 at 17:15 | comment | added | Tom Hunter | If there is an etiquette surrounding that, I wasn't aware of it. As far as I can see I was saving him the job. After all, why can I see the edit link..? | |
| Jan 26, 2013 at 17:05 | comment | added | Rob Moir | @TomHunter In that case, it would be friendly of you to allow Massimo the chance to amend his own post, wouldn't it? | |
| Jan 26, 2013 at 17:00 | comment | added | Tom Hunter | Even ignoring whether the answer was friendly / unfriendly, it doesn't really make sense for his answer to be requesting clarification as I've now made the clarification in my question. This is another reason why I don't understand the rejection. | |
