| Sep 5, 2015 at 23:37 | comment | added | Someone | @Drazen I don't necessarily disagree. I see your reasoning. I feel like it may be redundant since an edit that turned out to be incorrect will just be rejected anyway. Plus, after 2,000 rep, you can already go rollback your own edits if need be. Like I said, put up a new request, and there could be a discussion about it. :) | |
| Sep 5, 2015 at 23:06 | comment | added | Drazen Bjelovuk | @Mystery If you should only make edits within reason, then it stands to reason that you should be able to revoke an edit made without reason. Get my reasoning? | |
| Sep 5, 2015 at 22:26 | comment | added | Someone | @Drazen I'm precisely not saying that. Always make edits within reason as long as they aren't blatantly wrong (mistagging a question, for instance). But if you think it's valuable to be able to retract suggested edits, make another feature request and see how it goes. | |
| Sep 5, 2015 at 21:14 | comment | added | Drazen Bjelovuk | @Mystery That's silly. A user should have the ability to solely revoke anything he can solely put forward. If he realized he were wrong before making the edit, he wouldn't have made it in the first place. By your logic, everyone should just make whatever edit crosses their mind even when they're sure it's wrong, because it's a "community-oriented" website and the community should decide. | |

| Feb 24, 2012 at 5:38 | comment | added | Ade YU | Thanks. I understand it's gonna be OK. And my question is why. Why the site doesn't want me to cancel my edit when I find it is wrong? Why the site bothers 2 other guys to reject my wrong edit, which I myself know is wrong? | |
| Feb 24, 2012 at 5:32 | comment | added | Someone | @AdeYU: If there's nothing else worthwhile or substantive in the edit, then it will be rejected, and you won't get the reputation. If it's helpful except for one part, then it will be improved and you'll get the reputation, but fairly, for contributing the good parts. This works itself out. | |
| Feb 24, 2012 at 5:31 | comment | added | Ade YU | And I don't want to gain any reputation in that edit. | |
| Feb 24, 2012 at 5:30 | comment | added | Ade YU | But more or less, it bothered 2 guys. And it need not to. | |
