All good edits are important, but not all important edits need your attention to succeed, and the attention of good reviewers in Suggested Edits is sorely needed on many other edits. | |
| May 5, 2015 at 6:28 | comment | added | Maroun | @AlvaroMontoro It's important, any edit that improves the question is important for me. | |
| May 4, 2015 at 19:02 | comment | added | Alvaro Montoro | But then you would be losing a review vote in something trivial (that probably would be approved anyway), that you could have used in something more important later. As discussed on this question: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/292007/… | |
| May 4, 2015 at 18:07 | comment | added | Izkata | @canon The particular grammar mistake is pretty common among non-native-English speakers when their native language doesn't conjugate verbs in the same way - using "to do" instead of the right form. So it does read as a question to me, just that the edit should've fixed that as well | |
| May 4, 2015 at 17:33 | comment | added | canon | That question mark doesn't seem to belong there at all. The title wasn't phrased as a question. | |
| May 4, 2015 at 7:51 | comment | added | Maroun | @LalitKumarB It's always good to discuss and hear other's opinions, thanks for bringing this interesting topic. | |
| May 4, 2015 at 7:50 | comment | added | Lalit Kumar B | Well, thanks for the answer. +1 for your partial agreement. Perhaps, your specific scenario is worth another discussion, but in this case it should have been an Improve Edit. | |
| May 4, 2015 at 7:45 | comment | added | Maroun | @LalitKumarB As I said, I will not approve trivial edits that attempts to edit just for the +2. However, if it's the only available edit, and it's not redundant, I will approve it. | |
| May 4, 2015 at 7:25 | comment | added | Lalit Kumar B | Also, it might be an attempt to gain the +2 reputation for getting a suggested edit approved. | |
| May 4, 2015 at 7:08 | comment | added | Lalit Kumar B | Wouldn't this encourage the editor to do such trivial edits and then we would see a pile of posts in the Review stack for Suggested Edits. I wish the editor is made aware of it. | |
