Why is the author of a post not notified when a question is about to close? Many times I have found the question closed only when I visit the question for a probable answer barring the author to clarify his question.

  • Have you tried rediting the closed question? I'm pretty sure the author can still edit a closed question?

    No, but you can certainly edit to mention why you don't think it's a duplicate and fix it up so that people can vote to reopen it.

    Just edit it, or propose one, and then flag for moderation the question explaining what was changed and why do you think it should be re-opened. Normally a small improvement and a request from the OP to re-open a question are enough for us to take action.
