| Sep 13, 2023 at 0:06 | comment | added | user1410194 | I don't think a reviewer should be able to override an editor's choice. The editor sees the possible outcomes of the edit as "Rejected with reasons" or "Accepted and reopened". The 2-review process and the fact that "Accepted and kept closed" is even possible is an aberration that seems only newish users have to endure. Users with more rep are able to undo their edits if the reopening is declined. | |

In general, I tend to trust reviewers who pay attention to the checkbox. And as usual, if someone misbehaves, they may be called out on Meta ;) | |
| Jul 21, 2021 at 13:50 | comment | added | TylerH | I see, yeah that would probably be a good idea to have the ability to just uncheck that box as a reviewer... the problem I see is people using it for the wrong reason (e.g. they just don't want the question reopened) even if it truly doesn't deserve it. I kinda feel like they maybe they should have just gone with 'only edits from OP send the item to the reopen queue' instead of this option. | |
| Jul 21, 2021 at 6:23 | comment | added | honk | @TylerH: For example, suppose the editor makes the post more readable and inserts helpful code from an OP's comment. However, the error message is still missing, which can only be supplied by the OP. | |
| Jul 20, 2021 at 22:04 | comment | added | TylerH | "not quite good enough" is a bit vague to me. It sounds like you could just improve the edit if it was almost good enough for reopening. | |

provided potential solutions for the case that reviewers disagree

| Jul 12, 2021 at 13:19 | comment | added | Mast | That's a great idea: allow the reviewer to uncheck the box. However, a suggested edit requires 2 reviews. What happens when 1 reviewer does and 1 reviewer doesn't uncheck the box? Ask for a 3rd opinion just because of the box? | |
| Jul 7, 2021 at 20:16 | comment | added | honk | @Tomerikoo: Good point! This calls for a third/deciding review ;) But, as you say, that would complicate things. But maybe Lisa's team can come up with a solution for that... | |
| Jul 7, 2021 at 19:52 | comment | added | Tomerikoo | I totally agree with this concern but afraid it complicates things quite a bit. Just an example that comes to mind: What if you approve the edit without the checkbox but another user approves it as a substantial edit. The edit will be approved, but will the question go to the reopen queue or not? | |
