I remember some reviews of suggested edits where the reviewers clearly could not understand either the post or the edit.

One of these was http://askubuntu.com/a/476746/117103https://askubuntu.com/a/476746/117103 , supposedly an answer, which it isn't. I don't blame anybody for not understanding Italian - but it isn't at all useful to "improve" a non-answer of the species "I have the problem too".

So please: If you don't understand a post or the suggested edit, be it

  • because of a language barrier
  • because you are not familiar with the topic
  • because the subtleties escape you
  • ...

don't hesitate to press the skip button!


As has been suggested I want to add that the same applies to all review queues - although the reason language barrier will not be so frequent there :-)
