The Help Center page and its Deficiencies and then some more

As the author of the question, you have an additional option: accepting the answer that gives you the most helpful advice. To mark an answer as accepted, click on the check mark beside the answer to toggle it from greyed out to filled in. You may change which answer is accepted, or simply un-accept the accepted answer, at any time.

1. Posting a new question. If you incorporate advice from one or more answers, but are still unsure that the code is as good as it should be, then post a new question with your revised code. For the benefit of other users, add mutual links: mention the previous question in the new question, and add a comment on the old question linking to the follow-up question.

2. Posting a self-answer. If you want to show everyone how you improved your code, but don't want to ask another question, then post an answer to your own question. Self-answers are acceptable on Stack Exchange sites, and even encouraged: there is a self-learner badge you can earn for that. Please note:

• Your answer must meet the standards of a Code Review answer, just like any other answer. Describe what you changed, and why. Code-only answers that don't actually review the code are insufficient and are subject to deletion.
• Give credit to any other users who may have helped you. Posting a selfie that merely reiterates an existing answer without adding new insight would deprive another user of well deserved reputation. Also consider making your selfie community wiki if you feel that earning reputation from it would be unfair. Moderators may also activate community wiki status on self-answers at their discretion.
