@MadHatter Yes, I was the first to approve it. I agree it seems silly that it requires two persons to approve it. Either person would have been permitted to make the edit on their own and not require approval by anybody. And either person could have approved it by themselves, if only they had clicked Improve rather than Approve.

@NathanC That's because you are not me. As far as the system was concerned, I no longer had a say in that review, because I had already clicked Approve. I could not start a new edit either because the previous had still not been reviewed by more people.

| Aug 7, 2014 at 13:48 | comment | added | Chris S Mod | @MadHatter I want to agree, but see A LOT of edit suggestions where people blindly approve them. Even requiring 2 people's approval I still have to reverse edits from time to time. | |
| Aug 7, 2014 at 13:31 | comment | added | MadHatter | Is that because you were the first of two people to approve it? In that state, I know of nothing you can do immediately; you can't edit it, because there's an edit waiting for signoff; you can't sign it off, since it requires two different people's approval (an idiot setting - one person with arbitrary edit privs should should have the ability to unilaterally signoff someone else's edits, but that's a separate grumble). Once a second person has approved that edit, open-edit-season will be back on, and you can revert the change. | |
