I had wanted to edit this questionthis question to remove the signature in accordance with this policythis policy (which has since been taken care oftaken care of by zpletanzpletan). However, I was unable to do so. Since I only have 1,269 reputation1,269 reputation, I understand that my edits must be approvedmy edits must be approved before being visible to other users. That's not the problem. (After all, zpletanzpletan has only 761 reputation761 reputation.) The problem was that I could not edit it at all--there was no edit link. And I have edited other people's posts before (subject to approval before being viewable)...

Now that zpletan's has edited the post and I have reloaded the page, I have an edit link. But reloading the page before that did not give me one. (I am using Chromium 15.0.874.106 (Developer Build 107270 Linux), provided by 15.0.874.106~r107270-0ubuntu0.11.10.1, on Lubuntu 11.10.)

Was the reason I could not edit because zpletanzpletan had already submitted his/her edit, which was pending approval? If so, then wouldn't it be better to say something like "an edit is already pending" rather than simply not to show the edit link at all? Would the current behavior be considered a bug?
