I ask this because I've taken a liking to checking new questions for poor formatting, broken English, and questionable phrasing. My goal in this is to edit otherwise decent questions that get typically downvoted or flagged as being low-effort by other users. I've been running into trouble recently with edit conflicts that causes Community to reject my suggested edits.

Take my most recent suggested editmy most recent suggested edit, for example. These are both reasonable edits -- I corrected grammatical and formatting errors, and the OP elaborated on their initial post. Due to the timing of both of our edits, there is no method of conflict resolution available, and OP is left with those same problems in their post.

I've searched Meta about this matter and it seems like a good way to go about resolving this hasn't been found yet. That is somewhat discouraging to me, because I feel that helping these newer posts along is beneficial to the site as a whole, no matter their eventual fate. So that leaves me here, asking for advice or feedback -- does anyone have any suggestions for avoiding/improving this conflict, or should I just wait a while before working with these posts?
