First, I want to say thank you for your contribution to help this site getting better content.

I was the one who accept your suggested edit but reject it after see it overwhelming review queue. My reason is same with other answer here. But I think the main problem on your mass-editing is it will bump old lovely post to front page.

##Why the front page is precious?

Why the front page is precious?

IMHO the front page of every SE has some function:

  1. From some-random-visitor perspective: Front page is our landing page. It would convinced them that our live is live. Some indications how this site was live is: (1) there are new question posted, (2) the question was get answer and (3) the question/answer is edited for improvement.

  2. From questioner perspective: Front page is their showroom. It's a place when their question get some attention thus get answered by other experts.

  3. From regular members perspective: Front page is place to look new question so they can answer it. Or to look new answer from old question so they can improve or (up|down)vote it.

Here the screenshot when front page was 'normal'.

Normal condition

You can see (1) there are new question posted, (2) the question was get answer and (3) the question/answer is edited for improvement.

Now, if the old post get edited, they will show up on the front page. Here the screenshot when mass-editing occurs

mass edit

You can see that the second one was kind of weird. These are the things that might cross new user's mind when seeing the second front page.

  1. Why the old post get bumped to front page again? Is SF doesn't get new question anymore?
  2. I posted the question a while ago. And now my question was sinking, kick off from the front page and (maybe) getting no attention/answer :(?

##Some suggestion

Some suggestion

In fact, I'm the relatively new to this SE (member for 6-7 month) but I'm the one of active editor in this site. Sometimes I do minor edit such as split long paragraph, remove thanks/signature, fix typo etc. When editing, my principle was derived from voretaq7 algorithm here:

  1. If the post was new (< a week), then go ahead and edit it.

  2. If the post was bumped to the front page because on one of the following reason

    • bumped by Community ♦ user to front page
    • get late answer from me/other users

    AND it needs to be fixed, then go ahead and edit it.

And if you want to mass-editing, please consider to slow them down (like 2-5 edit pe hour) so our front page still show fresh content.
