Some time ago, I asked a question... no answers were forthcoming... I continued to research. After a while, I found the exact solution to the question I had asked. I edited the question and provided the insight I had gained - as an update. I accept that, perhaps, this wasn't the optimal strategy.

I was notified, today, that someone has edited my question to remove this information. This doesn't strike me as an improvement... Now, the solution isn't associated with the question at all.

What is the most appropriate thing to do next? Should I re-post the same information as an answer? Can the edit be questioned?

I don't care who gets credit, or how it is (re)formatted - but I think it would be better if the answer remained.

What should I do for the best? I don't want to get into an edit-war. :)

About how best to question an edit
