As one of the reviewers who rejected your edit, I can provide my story.

I did read your comment and look at the meta post, but I just now realized that your edit was to a question, not an answer. When I reviewed the edit, I thought you were removing part of an answer, so the meta post didn't make sense, so I rejected it as defacing the post (not as spam). The answer in there put me in answer mode, and I didn't think to check if it was an answer or not. If I had realized it was a question you were editing, I wouldn't have rejected it. I don't know about the other reviewers, but that's what happened when I saw it.

Sorry about that, I'll make sure to pay closer attention on whether suggestions are on a question or an answer from now on.

To help in the future, you may want to consider summarizing the meta post and putting something like "answers should not be included in questions" in your edit comment to make it more obvious you're editing a question.
