I've just reviewed this suggested editthis suggested edit. The original answer was short and not of the best quality; the edit drastically improved it, so both I and Mourdos approved the edit.

However, it was proposed by Anonymous and not the post author. That had me considering how to review for some time: drastic edits to posts not by the author are generally frowned upon and rejected for fear of changing the author's meaning.
