  1. Read what you are reviewing.

  2. Follow the link to the original question and read everything to gain context.

  3. If there is an accepted/upvoted answer, clearly the question was understood by someone, in which casewho should edit it for clarity if it's unclear to me the fault must be either in my comprehension or inexperience with the topic at handall possible. Leave it open!

  4. If the question is understandable andto you but might be confusing to others, edit it for clarity.

  5. If you can provide a better answer than what you see, do so.

  6. If you see an answer that looks promising but could use improvement leave a comment encouraging that improvement for the answerer.
