Effort on the part of editors and answerers is not necessarily fungible -- some people make heroic edits because they enjoy doing so, and might not spend a similar amount of effort to do something which is closer to a site-ideal efficiency. | |
| Jun 27, 2013 at 9:22 | comment | added | Oli Mod | @belacqua There are diminishing returns when dealing with somebody who can't speak English here. Edits are guesses and there's no guarantee the OP can understand them or the questions being asked in return. In this case the OP never came back to reply and the question died. That's a lot of wasted effort. Generally speaking if people can't or won't speak English we should be sending them to places that can help them. | |
| Jun 26, 2013 at 23:25 | comment | added | belacqua | I think that @Stephen Myall's edit or any other heroic edits are fine, if the questions that result are intelligible and general enough to be useful to others. If the editor has guessed meaning incorrectly, this forces a situation where either the OP makes clarifications, or a new but intelligible question is created and stands as is. | |
