In the suggested edits queue, I saw an edit where the user mentioned that they were "trying the edit again" and, from looking at their edit history, I can see that the previous edit was rejected 3-0. Assuming that it's not a clearly essential change, but is something that I'd otherwise accept, should I let the past rejection influence my decision?
I'm inclined to say that it doesn't matter what happened with the edit before, and that I should just judge it on its own merits. But I don't like to encourage the idea that someone can just keep resubmitting an edit until they find reviewers who approve it, regardless of other reviewers rejecting it. It also makes me concerned that I'm overlooking something which earlier reviewers noticesnoticed.
I'm certainly not going to just blindly reject something solely because it was rejected in the past, but I'm also hesitant to not give any weight to the fact that three other people all voted to reject. That additional consideration could make me change an accept to a skip, or a skip to a reject.
Do I vote how I think the edit deserves, or respect the decision of the earlier reviewers?
