| Apr 18, 2020 at 8:40 | comment | added | mickmackusa | Correct. @Kulfy ...I think I'll be firing another question about all of my "flags to close". Some are marked "helpful" but then the page remains open, all others merely age away. I'll need to prepared the list in a concise way. | |
| Apr 18, 2020 at 8:39 | comment | added | mickmackusa | Apparently the comment was removed before the suggested edit was handled. It was there when I edited. @Kulfy | |

| Apr 11, 2020 at 12:20 | comment | added | Gryu | I'm sorry for that. I've actually overlooked your comment. I usually look at them, but not in this case. | |
| Apr 11, 2020 at 12:17 | comment | added | DK Bose | It maybe your idea of fun, but others can see it as targeting individuals who, probably, acted without malice to you. | |
| Apr 11, 2020 at 11:46 | comment | added | mickmackusa | It has been my experience on all Meta sites (other than Joomla's Meta which basically nobody uses) that people will look for any reason to downvote and not bother to justify the vote -- this is one reason why I seldom engage with Metas. I am not bothered by the downvotes that go unsupported. Yes, I was having some fun with the court room vernacular, but I will concede that the title wasn't indicating the concern of my post. Edited. As for the wall of text, I want most of it to stay, so I understand if this denies a certain audience. I don't think that "wall of text" is a DV justification. | |

New title

| Apr 11, 2020 at 10:24 | comment | added | Kulfy | Regarding downvotes, since you're a mod on Joomla and have many reputation points on SO, you might be aware that downvotes on meta means that people don't like the suggestion or the way it was brought on meta. I'd recommend you to please edit the title of question to like "Why were my edits rejected?" so that it doesn't look more like a legal court case. Also, like muru said, no one likes to read a wall of text. Thanks :) | |
| Apr 11, 2020 at 10:23 | comment | added | dessert | A downvote to this question is a downvote to posting an “edit review cases” meta post, the style of your post (e.g.: no links) and maybe your individual edits. This has nothing to do with your other actions on the site, let alone your personality. | |
| Apr 11, 2020 at 10:19 | comment | added | Kulfy | @mickmackusa For the second one, I assume that the reviewers who rejected didn't read the summary of edit and thought that you were adding something from your side, since you might be aware the latter thing happens here on SE. I'd encourage you to suggest the second edit again. I'll be happy to review that :) | |

| Apr 11, 2020 at 8:14 | comment | added | mickmackusa | I have added another case of what I believe demonstrates poor review queue actions. So this isn't a one-off whinge. I'd put my suggestions back in the queue, but with the downvotes on this question, it seems that the community doesn't think much of my volunteerism. | |

Added another case

| Apr 11, 2020 at 6:36 | comment | added | muru | And for that matter, I routinely suggest edits on all sorts of sites (you can look at my network activity), and it happens that some of them get mistakenly rejected. I have usually submitted those again and got them accepted (when I remember to check - the network activity doesn't show rejected suggestions, so I only remember if I happen to visit the post again) | |
| Apr 11, 2020 at 6:34 | comment | added | muru | Oh, I agree that OP's text shouldn't have been formatted, but if I have to undo most of what a suggested edit does, then I reject and edit. If I can keep most of the suggestion, I accept and edit. Whether I read a wall of text is mostly a matter of snap judgement - I don't think a single possibly mistaken edit review is worth meta post, and even if it were, wouldn't be worth all these words. Surely, you as a mod on another site, should understand that single events aren't worth getting all hot and bothered over? | |
| Apr 11, 2020 at 6:09 | comment | added | mickmackusa | For that matter, probably not worth posting on a Meta where people have enough energy to open a page, but not enough energy to read the entire question before putting in their two cents. Rather disrespectful. | |
| Apr 11, 2020 at 5:59 | comment | added | mickmackusa | That brand of comment ([TD;DR, but I think you are wrong] ... part impatient, part apathetic, part obstinate) only reinforces the stereotype that the most active and outspoken voices on Meta are those of the non-progressive old guard. How disappointing, but at least now I know that I shouldn't bother suggesting edits in this community until there is some indication that this type of contribution is encouraged. Cheers for that clarification. | |
| Apr 11, 2020 at 5:26 | comment | added | mickmackusa | Okay, style preference may differ as I stated in the question, but the OP's text should not be formatted. And the overruling edit is just as bad if not worse than my suggestion. | |
| Apr 11, 2020 at 5:03 | comment | added | muru | I'm not going to read this wall of text, but looking at the screenshot, I would have rejected it as well - error messages do not belong in quote formatting. Put them in code formatting, yes, but there's not reason to add quote formatting on top. | |
| Apr 11, 2020 at 3:56 | comment | added | mickmackusa | The title is in the screenshot. Should I post another suggested edit to correct the formatting or am I likely to get rejected again? | |
