That other person did not notice the minor mistake in that otherwise good edit, so it got approved with the mistake. I went and fixed the mistake just now. It just feel like there should have been a simpler way for me to correct the mistake than wait for somebody else to approve the mistake, such that I could go and edit it. | |

It was not a truly bad edit. It was a good edit correcting some outdated or incorrect information, and added a citation from an official source. There just happened to be a small mistake in the citation. I know about the Improve button, which is why I said I intended to click Improve. Had I used Improve, then saving my edit would have approved the previous edit and applied mine. But since I clicked Approve it entered a state, where that option was no longer available.
