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?

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][2]

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][1]

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

In fact, I'm the relatively new to this SE (member for 6-7 month) but I'm the one of [active editor][3] 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][4]:

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 ♦][5] 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.
